Imphal, November 14 2021:
The All Manipur Students' Union (AMSU) has condemned the burning of unthreshed paddy stacks at the adjoining areas of Senjam Chirang, Senjam Khunnou and Koutruk in the early hours of November 9 by unidentified miscreants.
In a statement issued today, AMSU said farmers toiled under harsh weather to grow rice to feed the family and earn a living and burning paddy stacks is an inhumane act.
In addition to the usual problems faced by farmers, this year they had also faced scarcity of water due to scanty rainfalls.
At such a critical time when the people have been hit hard by the pandemic, burning of the unthreshed paddy stacks which has resulted in complete loss of the whole year's labour is highly condemnable, added the statement.
AMSU appealed to the Government to take up necessary steps to prevent such incidents in future.
