Imphal, August 08, 2012:
Haunted by frequent landslides along the only lifeline of the two villages connecting with NH 2, villagers of Liyai Khullen and Liyai Khunou have drawn the attention of the state government for clearing away the landslide and devise a permanent solution to the menace.
Chairman of Liyai Khullen Village in a press release stated that the area which is situated at a distance of 6 km from the village and 36 km from NH 2 has been a landslide prone area.
In the past, the two villages deployed 20 to 30 youths everyday to clear the landslides.
However, huge landslides which occurred this time have rendered all efforts of the villagers to clear the landslides in vain.
Drawing the attention of the government, villagers of the two villages have appealed to the state government for bringing about a solution to the menace.
