Imphal, September 20 2011:
The JAC of Khuga Dam today alleged that the multipurpose project has become nothing but a death trap.
The dam has so far claimed the lives of over 10 people including five students, the JAC said in a statement.
Ministers, MLAs, politicians and Government officials have become the sole beneficiaries of the dam as they deceitfully pocketed huge amount of money from the construction of the dam costing over Rs 430 crores.
But it has become a bane for hundreds of villagers who have been displaced, the JAC lamented, adding that the real purpose of the dam is yet to be realised and the State Government has been trying to hide the real facet of the dam from the Central Government and the people.
