Imphal, August 07, 2012:
The District Office of Horticulture and Soil Conservation, Senapati has been lying almost defunct for the last five years due to occupation by personnel of Manipur Police Wireless District HQ and 4th IRB.
The matter came to light during a visit by MLA Dr V Alexander Pao to the office.
The MLA was surprised to see personnel of state force inside the office complex.
The hoarding of the office was also found covered with black paint and written "4th IRB" over it.
Moreover, a signboard that reads Manipur Police District headquarters, Senapati, Manipur was also found erected at the gate of the office.
Due to the occupation of their buildings by state force, the staffs of the office have been doing their office jobs from the Old Secretariat Building at Senapati District HQ.
Expression shock over the situation, the MLA has drawn the attention of the state government for shifting away the state forces from the office so that the office can function for the welfare of the people in the district.
