The Khanuithot-Khon group has condemned the destruction of a Bailey bridge in Chatric, Manipur, and has demanded an independent investigation into the incident.
A Bailey bridge located in Chatric village, Manipur, was reported destroyed earlier this week, disrupting local traffic and access to nearby markets. The incident has drawn sharp criticism from the Khanuithot-Khon political group, which stated that the loss of the bridge could severely affect the mobility of residents and delay essential supplies.
Khanuithot-Khon representatives called for an independent probe to determine the cause of the destruction, suggesting that it could be linked to sabotage or negligence. They urged state authorities to ensure a transparent investigation and to restore the bridge as soon as possible.
The Manipur government has yet to release an official statement regarding the incident. Local officials have confirmed that repair work will commence once the investigation is complete, but no timeline has been provided.
The destruction of the Bailey bridge has raised concerns among villagers who rely on the structure for daily commutes and for transporting goods to nearby towns. Community leaders are demanding swift action to mitigate the impact on the region's economy and connectivity.
