The Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Kamjong released an official notice targeting unauthorized constructions within the proposed Right of Way for Package-I of the NH-102A project. Despite prior warnings issued under the National Highways Act of 1956, several individuals have continued to erect structures that directly hinder the widening and development of this vital transit route. Deputy Commissioner L.N. Kashung has made the administration’s stance clear: all concerned parties must voluntarily dismantle their structures within 15 days from the date the notice was issued. The directive emphasizes that this is a final opportunity for voluntary compliance.
Failure to meet this deadline will result in immediate eviction and demolition by the district authorities, without any further notice or communication.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has identified these encroachments as a primary hurdle in the timely execution of the highway project. Because NH-102A serves as a strategic link between Shangshak and Tengnoupal, any delay in construction impacts not only regional connectivity but also the broader infrastructure goals of the state. Local officials are urging residents to cooperate with the widening works to ensure the project stays on track. As the 15-day countdown begins, all eyes are on the NH-102A stretch to see if the path will be cleared for Manipur’s next major infrastructure milestone.
