Imphal, July 06 2014:
Amidst growing concerns over encroachment of government land in far off places in the hills and the valley where even constructed houses and other structures have been constructed to claim the land as their own, some individuals too have started encroaching on government land in heart of the city which is prime land of the State with many of them constructing residential houses of their own.
With rampant encroachment of State land under Imphal Municipal Council, questions have also been asked whether the responsibility to safeguard State land should be entrusted to District Authority or Revenue Department.

As an outcome of such encroachment on the prime land of the State in the heart of Imphal, the road developed along the bank of Nambul River, to the south of Cheirap Court at Uiripok after evicting residents during the President's Rule in 1994 has now been occupied by people residing in and around the area.
Forget about residential houses there, many are enjoying agricultural activities in the area as well.
Talking to Hueiyen Lanpao, a concerned elderly person of the locality recalled that the road constructed during the President's Rule along the bank of river was so vast that even a truck could pass easily as it measured 12 feet in breadth.
But today one is finding difficulty in taking this road even on foot.
The road connects with other important parts of the city and is an important route for residents of the area.
But now the road which leads to Khwairamband Market from Uripok Lai Khurembi Leikai is totally messed up with illegal construction of residential houses everywhere.
An office of a private organization has also been built in the area, he said.
The authority concerned has utterly failed to maintain the road which was constructed for conveniences of the public.
Have the government allotted land patta to the local residents staying in the area or is the area still under State lands, the elderly person wondered.
