Social Worker Oinam Malesh today repaired the bank of Merakhong river at Lairenjam Makha Leikai under Naoriya Pakhanglakpa Assembly Constituency.
Speaking on the occasion, Malesh said that around 200 families of the locality faced flood during rainy season every year since the river bank on the eastern side is too low to hold the water volume.
He assured of taking up necessary work for double cropping in the area.
Stressing on the need of producing adequate agriculture products, Malesh said that he will try his best to begin cultivation work by last part of February.
Samom Samananda, a resident of Lairenjam Makha said that around 200 families faced flood in every rainy season.
Despite knowing the fact, local MLA and the state government failed to take up measure to solve people's woes.
Oinam Malesh is repairing the river bank on the request of the villagers at his own xpense.
He is bearing all the expenses of the repairing work and using its own dozer.
He had also helped the flood affected people last year.
