[2] Leisang is 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from a motorable road,[3] and can only be reached on foot or by bicycle,[2] by means of a steep track that is sometimes very muddy.
[5] There are also no medical facilities; emergency cases such as women in labour must be carried to the road.
[2] At a public meeting in the state capital, Imphal, in May 2018 the villagers requested a road connection, water purification facilities, and an anganwadi childcare and health centre.
[2] On 27 April 2018, electricity was turned on in Leisang for the first time,[3][5] the culmination of the thousand-day Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana program to electrify all the remaining villages of India announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his speech on Independence Day in 2015.
[1][2][4][6] As of March 2019[update] service remains erratic, with outages as long as three months caused in part by the difficulty of access to make repairs, but some villagers have acquired televisions.
