Imphal, March 17 2016:
The platinum jubilee celebration of United
Kadi Baptist Churches has been organised under the theme, 'Wit-
nessing God's love' from March 15 to 17.
Hill Areas Committee Vice-Chairman and Tamei AC MLA
Z Kikhonbou Newmai attended the opening function as chief
guest.
In his speech, Kikhonbou Newmai said that Kadi area in
Tamei AC is rich in natural resources.
However, roads leading to this area are in bad shape.
As such, no other vehicles except jeep and trucks can ply
on these roads, he said.
On the other hand, natural resources of the area are deplet-
ing day by day due to excessive cutting of trees and hunting.
Even if the villagers earn their livelihood through sale of
timbers, the natural resource can be made sustainable if sap-
lings are planted on regular basis, he said.
In his speech, Kikhonbou Newmai also mentioned the need
for protection of natural resources of the area through proper
planning.
Saying that due to the vastness of the area, Kadi is
divided into five parts, Kikhonbou said that the area would
become a nice place to live in if the roads are revamped.
