Chandel, August 05 2017:
The Naga Students Union Chandel (NSUC) has expressed deep resentment over the non-committal response from PHED, Chandel regarding the severe lack of drinking water in the district .
A press release issued by vice president of NSUC stated that no initiatives or steps have been taken up by the Department concerned to provide drinking water despite several notifications to the DC of the district .

"There are many foothill villages in Chandel district which come under Sugnu, Waikhong and Kakching of Thoubal district.
The villages of Western valley area, Western Lamkang area, Khoibu and Maring areas should amalgamate with the police stations under Chandel district", the Union added .
The Union condemned the Deputy Commissioner of Chandel for his alleged role in appointing FPS agents 2017-18 without proper process of selection .
Due to the bias attitude of the district administration, Chandel and the State Government, the Naga Students Union Chamdil (NSUC) will organize a mammoth rally on August 7, the Union stated .
