Imphal, July 12 2016:
MLA of
Keirao AC Karam Thamarjit
and Vice-Chancellor of
Manipur University Prof HNK
Sarma today inspected
dredging work carried along
Merakhong rivulet that passes
through Manipur University
campus.
Merakhong is not only an
important drainage system
inside the Manipur Univer-
sity, but also has historical
importance.
Due to continuous down-
pour for the last few days,
the river has clogged result-
ing to flooding of large tract
of agriculture land in the
downstream area.
Not only the dredging
work will ensure the smooth
flow of the river water but
also mitigate the problems
faced by farmers along the
downstream once the work is
completed, MLA Thamarjit
said.
At the same time, VC of
MU Prof HNK Sarma lauded
the efforts of the MLA in
cleaning the river.
He said that
possible cooperation will be
extended from the MU side to
such laudable works in future.
