Imphal, February 11 2023:
Shiv Sena, Manipur unit has proposed for construction of nine ring roads around Loktak lake.
Raising the proposal, Shiv Sena Manipur unit senior vice-president M Tikendra told media persons at the party's office, Babupara here on Saturday that the Loktak lake is the largest freshwater lake in South Asia and the water body needs to be saved at any costs including its development to an eco-friendly tourist spot.
Developing roads around the Loktak lake will help in preserving and promoting the lake to an eco-friendly tourist centre and hence the party is demanding construction of nine ring roads around the lake, he said and urged the state government to approach the Centre for inclusion of Manipur in the proposed Maha Sadak, which will begin from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu and link India with South East Asian countries.
Welcoming the state government's initiative to host some programmes of G-20 summit, M Tikendra said that bringing the international meet in the state particularly at Loktak lake is a good step and this will help in exposing natural beauty of the lake to the global audience.
He also said that Shiv Sena will support all the activities related to the upcoming G-20 summit.
