In a press release, the Khonglong Kabui Village Authority stated that the standing crops, forest, land and river of the village have been affected considerably by the ongoing expansion work of National Highway 37 .
Subsequently the villagers are facing a number of problems such as scarcity of water etc and they have filed multiple complaints to the Deputy Commissioner, DFO Kangpokpi and National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation (NHIDCL) to compensate the villagers accordingly however no adequate steps have been taken up till to address the issue.
Strongly denouncing such indifferent attitude of the authorities concerned, the village authority has urged the State Government to look into the matter at the earliest.
