Imphal, December 06 2016:
Stating that the authority concerned not providing potable water to the people, locals of Keirao today locked Irilbung water supply plant.
Irilbung Library Union chairman Salam Madhumangol said that the Irilbung water supply scheme is divided into urban and rural water supply scheme.
The augmentation of water supply scheme under Imphal City Phase-I is functioning efficiently and providing potable water to people in Imphal city areas and VIPs.
However, for the rural areas, the scheme has become defunct.
Water supply plant is located at Keirao but the locals are deprived of drinking water.
This is not acceptable, he said.

He said that people of Keirao were delighted when the scheme was first introduced 20 years ago.
Unfortunately, people have not got to taste even a drop of water provided by Irilbung water supply plant till date.
The water pipes installed in the area are 50, 60 years old.
The department concerned would give lame excuses when asked to change the pipes.
Unless, potable water is provided to the people of Keirao, the water supply plant will remain shut, he said.
