A Manipur beauty queen has taken the initiative to repair potholes on the Sugnu–Lamda road, aiming to improve local infrastructure.
A beauty queen from Manipur has stepped into a community role by spearheading pothole repairs on the Sugnu–Lamda road. The initiative began after residents reported frequent damage to the roadway, which hampers travel between the two towns. The queen, who has previously represented the state in national pageants, organized a volunteer group of local workers and coordinated with municipal authorities to source materials and manpower.
The repair effort focused on clearing deep ruts and filling cracks that had become hazardous for vehicles. Workers used cement and gravel to stabilize the surface, and the project was completed within a week. The queen emphasized the importance of maintaining infrastructure for economic activity and safety.
Local officials praised the initiative, noting that such grassroots involvement can accelerate government response times. The project has already reduced travel delays and improved road safety for commuters.
The beauty queen plans to continue similar outreach projects, hoping to inspire other young people in Manipur to engage in public service initiatives.
