Kuki militants destroy vital bridge at Saparmeina in Kangpokpi district
Manipur being a land-locked state highly depends on the highways for ferrying in food and all other goods including essential items, which is exactly why highway blockades have become a bargaining chip for groups who have an axe to grind with the state authorities or holding it to ransom for realisation of their demands howsoever petty it be sometimes.
Earlier, security forces, including Kangpokpi police, had safely escorted more than a hundred stranded vehicles on the midnight of August 5.
The condition of the bridge is dangerous and needs urgent repair, NHIDCL team said.
To avoid unwanted incidents, traffic regulations at the bridge had begun from Monday evening.
Over 200 vehicles remained stranded on both sides of the damaged road.
The validity (vanity) of the government's excuses on the deplorable conditions of the roads in Manipur.
