Imphal, August 03 2019:
Asserting that the hurried inauguration of the Dolaithabi Barrage has resulted into the 'faulty/failure' of the main right canal, Khundrakpam Kendra Development Committee on Saturday appealed the authorities concerned and Government to rectify and renovate the 'faulty canal and tunnel' at the earliest to supply water to farmers in the area.
Speaking to media persons during an inspection programme today, KKDC spokesperson N Dijen asserted that the Dolaithabi Barrage has 'failed to serve its purpose' .

The tunnel under the Patlou Maning Ching that leads to the main right canal has not been constructed carefully, he said claiming that there are many defects at different locations.
Pointing out the various 'defects' under the tunnel, Dijen claimed that the water that is supposed to go downstream is going upstream due to 'faulty levelling' of the tunnel ground.
The water is supposed to travel from Dolaithabi Barrage to the main right canal and pass through the tunnel to reach to Yumnam Khunou, Sambei, Chingkhu, Tangkham, Haraorou, Khundrakpam and Waiton, he said.
However, the tunnel has failed to serve its purpose, he added.
The farmers and people who were thrilled to have the tunnel constructed are now worried if they will ever get water, Dijen said urging the authorities concerned to rectify the tunnel.
He also urged the authorities concerned to finish the construction works of the canal upto Waiton and reconstruct the bridge over Kongba river.
