Lamka’s Roads Are Failing Its People

Lamka, the commercial heartbeat of southern Manipur, is expanding rapidly in size, population, and economic activity. Yet its basic infrastructure - especially its roads - remains painfully behind.

What should be a bustling, connected township instead feels like a maze of neglected terrain.
