In a significant civic action initiative aimed at supporting local communities and ensuring uninterrupted transportation, Manipur Police, in collaboration with the Drivers Union Senapati, carried out essential repair work on the bypass road from Chakabama (Nagaland) to Martyr’s Park in Senapati district. The repair has successfully enabled the movement of previously stranded vehicles along the route.
The bypass road, which had become impassable due to poor conditions exacerbated by recent monsoon rains, had left several trucks and commercial vehicles stranded for days, affecting supply chains and causing distress to drivers. Responding promptly, Manipur Police launched the repair operation with active participation from the Drivers Union.
“This joint effort reflects the growing partnership between the security forces and local stakeholders in ensuring public welfare and essential connectivity in the hill districts,” said a police official involved in the operation.
Relief Measures for Stranded Drivers
As part of the humanitarian gesture during the road repair effort, snacks, drinking water, and other essential items were distributed to the stranded truck drivers by the police personnel and volunteers.

Strengthening Police-Public Relations

The restored bypass is expected to ease pressure on other routes and facilitate the smooth flow of essential commodities between Manipur and Nagaland.
