IMPHAL: Manipur’s newly-inducted works minister Khumujam Ratankumar has asked the Border Roads Organization (BRO) to complete the development work of the National Highway 53 connecting Imphal and Jiribam sub-division bordering Assam before the onset of monsoon.
After NH 39 (Imphal-Dimapur route), NH 53, which is currently maintained by the BRO, is the second lifeline of Manipur.
