Manipur CM N Biren Singh inaugurates five different projects

Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh inaugurated five different projects apart from laying the foundation stone for 46 others under different Departments in a function held at Chief Minister’s Secretariat Complex today. The total estimated cost of these projects was Rs. 180 crores.

Speaking at the occasion, Singh said that the State Government is giving priority to development of hill areas because hill districts are less developed as compared with valley districts. Stating that various developmental projects are being taken up in different parts of hill districts, the Chief Minister expressed hope that people would be able to see a landscape change in hill districts when these projects are completed.

Singh informed that transit accommodations for doctors, nurses and teachers are being constructed at 19 different places i.e. Churanchadpur, Singhat, Borobekara, Jiribam, Tamenglong, Tamei, Noney, Kangpokpi, Senapati, Mao, Paomata, Saikul, Jessami, Ukhrul, Kamjong, Chandel, Chakpikarong, Moreh and Tousem. Out of these, the Chief Minister said, accommodations at Churachandpur, Singhat and Borobekara have been inaugurated today while works at the remaining places would be completed by December this year. There would be no problem for accommodation for the doctors, nurses and teachers posted in these areas once these accommodations are ready, he said.

In order to provide air connectivity to interior areas of Manipur like Thanlon (207 km), Parbung (310 km) etc. at an affordable price and to boost air tourism, heliports would be constructed at Tamenglong, Thanlon, Parbung, Moreh and Jiribam. Nowadays, the Chief Minister said, it is encouraging to see that there is less disturbance in taking up developmental projects in hill areas. It is because of people’s faith and support to the present Government, he said.

Regarding Henglep Road, the Chief Minister clarified that the project halted midway after a good progress at initial stages because of a complaint letter from an ex-MLA to the North Eastern Council. However, works for this project would begin soon, he said while observing that development works should never be politicalized by anybody.

CAF and PD minister Karam Shyam, Agriculture minister V. Hangkhanlian, MLAs and high ranking officials of the State Government also attended the function organized by the Manipur Police Housing Corporation Ltd.

The projects, which were inaugurated by the chief minister, were Transit Accommodation for doctors and teachers at Singhat, Churachandpur headquarters and Borobekra (Jiribam), 100 SM two-storeyed barrack with toilet facility at Manipur Police Training College, Pangei and Model Police Station at Porompat.
