IMPHAL, November 9: The Tousem Headquarter Student Union, Zeliangrong Youth Front (Tousem Zone), Tousem Village Authority have appealed Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) authorities to complete the construction of its tower before Christmas this year.

Speaking to media persons at the spot inspection of the construction site, Tousem Headquarter Students’ Union president Edim said the construction began in 2009 and concerned authorities gave assurances at that time that the people of Tousem could enjoy its services before Christmas this year. However, none of the concerned authorities have turned up after laying the foundation of the tower, he added.

He further stated that the foundation was laid in May, 2014 but none of the officials had arrived after that. He added that the tower will be of immense help in availing internet facilities to 67 villages of Tousem sub-division.

The people of Tousem were hoping that if the tower became fully functional then it would open a new chapter for the people of the area in terms of internet connectivity as they could connect with people living outside the State, and Tousem, he said.

However, concerned authorities put in less effort and it didn’t materialise, he lamented.

The concerned authorities must visit and complete the task at the earliest to help realise the long cherished dream of the Tousem people, he said, adding if the tower is completed then students will have access to the internet and can know what is happening around the world.
