Imphal, May 26 2016:
United Youth Progressive Organisation,
Kakching Chumang has demanded the author-
ity of Sekmai Barrage to bear responsibility for
all the damages caused by the recent man-made
floods at various places in Kakching areas.
Though the people of Kakching do not
gain much from Sekmai Barrage, its severe
consequences would always befall the resi-
dents of Kakching.
The devastating floods
could have been prevented had the authority
concerned implemented required initiatives at
the right time, UNYPO said in a statement.
Moreover, the authority concerned failed
to provide assistance promptly when the
locals approached for help.
Such attitude of the staff members
showed a lack of compassion towards the
affected people and is very unfortunate, the
statement said.
Therefore, required compensation should
be provided or else the locals would resort
to intense agitation, it added.
