JPYO demands urgent repairs to the PMGSY road linking Jalukie and Kamdi Bazaar, warning of action over prolonged delays
DIMAPUR — The Jalukie Pumling Youth Organisation (JPYO) has expressed concern over the worsening condition of the PMGSY road connecting Jalukie town and Kamdi bazaar, accusing the executing agency of delaying the project and warning of action if immediate remedial measures are not taken.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the organisation highlighted that the prolonged delay in completing the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) road has been compounded by the monsoon, making the stretch increasingly difficult for commuters and affecting several villages and institutions dependent on the route.
According to the JPYO, the poor condition of the road has caused severe inconvenience to residents of Panjang, Jalukie Ram, Jalukie Kam, Beisumpuikam and Samziuram, besides impacting access to the College of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry, the ZBCC Prayer Centre and other establishments.

The organisation stated that students, villagers and daily commuters have been forced to endure considerable hardship because of the deteriorating road condition.
Calling for immediate intervention, the JPYO urged the executing agency and the implementing authority to prioritise the pending work and ensure that the project is completed at the earliest.
As an interim measure, it demanded that Granular Sub-Base (GSB) material be laid along the affected stretch within two weeks to improve road conditions during the monsoon.
The organisation also raised concerns over the drainage system constructed along the road, stating that several sections had already overflowed during the current rainy season, indicating inadequate planning and execution.
It called for a proper and efficient drainage system to prevent further deterioration of the road and minimise future damage.
Warning of possible action, the JPYO said it would be compelled to act in the larger public interest if the agency failed to respond to its demands.
