Imphal, December 06 2020:
A 48-hour total bandh will be imposed along Tiddim road from 5 am of December 7, said All Kwakta Co-ordinating Committee denouncing lack of drinking water supply provision at Kwakta, Bishnupur district.
In a statement issued by its convenor, Anish Ahamad, the committee said that the decision to impose the 48 hours total blockade was taken due to the failure of the authorities concerned to act on their demand for a properly functioning water supply scheme.
The committee said it had appealed and set an ultimatum to the Government and PHED (Public Health Engineering Department) to take up steps to provide drinking water supply facilities at Kwakta.
Even though there is a water supply scheme, it has been lying idle for years.
The blockade will be enforced on Tiddim road from 5 am of December 7 to 5 am of December 9.Religious and cultural procession and essential services will be exempted from the purview of the blockade, said the committee.
