Imphal, August 24 2016:
Alleging that the construction of North Eastern
Frontier railway track (Jiribam to Tupul line)
has caused frequent landslides and soil erosion
in many areas within the village of Oinamlong,
Goinanglong (Oinamlong) Village Authority
has sought more compensation from the au-
thorities concerned for the damages.
Goinanglong VA chairman Maru
Khamang Gangmei, in a statement, said that
the use of chemical like hydraulic gas and
oil, diesel, engine oil, etc have adversely
affected the jhum lands and climatic condi-
tion of the area.
The actual damage caused by the con-
struction of the NF railway track, the VA
chairman added, is much greater than the
compensated value.
As such, he has appealed
to the authorities concerned to provide an
appropriate compensation based on the above
stated facts.
