Manipur minister assures compensation to landslide-hit families in Senapati

Imphal: Manipur works minister Thongam Biswajit Singh on Tuesday inspected the 2020 landslide-affected stretch of National Highway 2 at Khongnem Thana in Senapati district.

The minister also assured to release the compensation amount at the earliest for the families affected by the new road alignment for restoration of the national highway stretch.

The landslide that ccurred last October at Khongnem Thana village had completely cut off the Imphal-Dimapur section of the highway. Many heavy vehicles carrying goods remained stranded for days on the highway — considered the lifeline of Manipur.
