Imphal, February 03, 2011:
Social worker Kanba today distributed drinking water to three localities in the home polling of sitting MLA W Brajabidhu.
Kanba will be distributing the water in weekly basis to the villagers of Lamdeng Makha Leikai, Mayai Leikai and Awang Leikai who have been deprived of safe drinking water since the last 15 years.
Villagers said that there used to be a water supply scheme in the area which had stopped supplying water after five years from its inauguration.
Since the stoppage of the water supply, villagers of the areas have been deprived of safe drinking water since the last 15 years.
They are using pond and river water since then.
They have approached to the local sitting MLA to provide them safe drinking water from Kangchup.
Unfortunately, the sitting MLA always sidelined their demand by saying that there were no pipes to connect the waterline to the village.
Villagers expressed gratitude to social worker Khundrakpam Kanba for his kind gesture towards the people of the area when they approached him with their problem.
Kanba also repaired the IVR which connects Lamdeng Makha Leikak and Leishangthem Maibam Leikai which is about half kilometer in length.
He had also begun supplying safe drinking water to villagers of Tingri and Awang Potsangbam in weekly basis.
