Imphal, August 04 2016:
The Thanga Kendra Development Committee
has strongly condemned the police action on
fish vendors of Thanga Ithing during a protest
demonstration held on August 3 at Sendra foot-
hills.
An order issued by the Sub-Divisional
Magistrate on July 23, ordered eviction of
the temporary sheds of fish vendors at
Sendra foothills that were developed by the
Thanga Gram Panchayat for construction of
a vehicle parking lot for Classic Sendra,
Thanga Kendra Development Committee
convenor H Kulachandra said in a press meet
held at Manipur Press Club today.
Condemning the eviction, H Kulachandra
inquired whether the Moirang Municipal
Council has any authority at Sendra which is
under the Gram Panchayat.
The committee convenor further ques-
tioned why the State Government permitted
the setting up of a corporate house (Classic
Sendra) at a reserve forest (Sendra Hills)
much against the Forest Act of India.
Kulachandra further decried Moirang's
claim over Sendra.
The Sendra road, he
added, was constructed by the people of
Thanga in the 1950s across the Loktak lake
to enable movement to other parts of the
State.
