Imphal, May 16 2013:
As part of its effort to light up interior areas where electric power supply is not adequate, United Committee Manipur (UCM) donated solar street lights to Kasom Khunou village of Ukhrul district today.
A UCM team led by its general secretary Joychandra Konthoujam and secretary IPR Ng Deba handed over the solar lights to the villagers.
Speaking at the occasion, Joychandra Konthoujam said that equal development is the only means for harmonious living.
In this regard, UCM has been touring interior areas since past many years in order to extend support and deliberate on the needs of these areas.
Saying that some individuals are shiphonning off the fund and materials meant for hill people, Joychandra said that such malpractices create misundersyanding among hill and valley people.
He also said that hill people must identify such vested interest individuals.
