Thoubal, October 11 2020:
A tree plantation drive was carried out by the Co-ordination Committee United Club, Heirok under the aegis of local MLA Dr Th Radheshyam at Ibudhou Yotningthou ground near Heirok Part II Higher Secondary School.
Apart from the tree plantation drive, shingling work of the road, flooring of the ground and putting up lighting accessories were carried out.
Speaking at the gathering the MLA spoke at length on the merits of planting trees and expressed regret on the false charges doing the round that had discouraged the people on the canal work at Heirok.
Clarifying on the matter, the MLA said that after talks with the Central Government, it has been decided that now instead of digging a canal, focus would be on laying pipes to carry water which will only minimally affect the land of the people unlike digging a canal, he explained.
Paying compensation for whatever land has been affected has started, said the MLA and added with regret that despite this, wrong and misleading information is being spread to confuse the people.
Such things should stop, said the MLA and urged all to let the pipe laying work proceed normally.
Later the MLA also inspected the works underway to ensure supply of potable water to each household, electrification of each household and drainage works at Heirok Dhakarok.
Simultaneously the MLA oversaw the reaching of the first piped water at Dhakarok.
