Review call for Loktak power project
- Citizens' groups protest
The Telegraph | Imphal, Aug. 6:
Citizens' groups have demanded a review of the 105MW Loktak power project and decommissioning of the Ithai barrage constructed for the project, maintaining that the project does more harm than good for the state.
The Loktak Project Affected Area Action Committee, Committee on Human Rights, Manipur (COHR), Centre for Research and Advocacy Manipur (CRAM) and Irabot Foundation Manipur (IFM) joined hands to campaign against the project.
Yumnam told The Telegraph that the absence of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) and state government on the operation of the Loktak project, which was commissioned in 1984, is "a matter of serious concern".
