I.T Road - GoM neglected region?

By:- Thanggoulal Khongsai

One of the finest regions of Manipur is I.T Road areas that gets connected from district HQ Kangpokpi. The areas being so much rich in vegetation and natural vegetable produces and several other essential resources, development has never been reached until this day.

Despite the region exporting several produces on daily basis at an average of close to 80% of vegetable products from this region alone to Kangpokpi DHQ,  this area is still far from achieving development. Dominated by three different ethnic tribes such as Naga, Kuki and Nepali; the regions are far from achieving so called Quality/Paka Road.

Apart from such, daily essentials govt services are still far from reach by the people of this beautiful regions. Who should take the step to change the face of this region? Who is responsible to all these pathetic living conditions of the I.T Road people that they encountered on day to day basis?

The mud-Road Condition:
As well aware of the fact that good road leads to safe journey and bad road leads to accident. The former being the primary concern of every people's govt regardless of which party they belong, whereas, the latter being the concern of power-centric and self-loved govt. It is therefore unfortunate to claimed given from the current situation that the day govt seems to be the latter one.

On every single day the number of vehicles playing to and fro is close to 50. Despite the road being so much pathetic and can endanger to one's live, the people are left with no choice, henceforth are compelled to travel on daily basis. This being so, the roads are never to be said good. It requires stern commitment for our road construction.

Today, in almost every villages of I.T Road areas, there exist more than two or more Vehicles. This is in fact one such development brought by the people of the area to get more connected to urban areas. Had the road being well smooth for the vehicles, certainly number of vehicles could be triple in the region. The more vehicles, the better is their living conditions. This is why, the people's govt, whoever claimed to be, should work for this region as a means to reach us out in delivering public attention.

During rainy season, mostly Four wheeler vehicles like Bolero, DI truck etc , needed support of bigger ones like Shaktiman or Tata when they get stucked due to muddy. It is because of this heavy flooded muddy on the road, besides potholes everywhere, maximum of smaller vehicles are unable to meet their requirements and in addition, the number that used to get stranded in the mid of the road could be more than a hundred in this year alone. How long should this be continued when other developed counties started to used plastic road?

It is not a saying that the entire roads should be well smoothed. Certainly, the worse areas where even two wheer motor finds it difficult to pass by, should be highly concerned atleast; despite uncountable number of potholes existed every after a metre distance. How one could think a vehicle to pass through a 3 ft deep flooded mud exusted right in mid of the road?Today, and mainly during rainy season, our road looks are never different from that of our paddy fields.

Lack of basic essential govt services:

Today, when development are within the reach of their footsteps, we, the people of this regions are still deprived of all these basic rights. Hard to believe that hardworking people of this regions could still adapt with this pathetic environment conditions that our elected govt provided us. To no much ado, i dare to say that the present responsible govt should deeply consider that I.T Road people are also part of Manipur wherein, equal development should be made avail to them.

Although India has been advocate of Digital India, still there exist no single Bank in this region; however, internet may be reach. Due to this that even people with a minor issue with regards to their bank and related stuffs needed to travel long pathetic roads to Kangpokpi to just get their problems solved.
