Kaina Development & Protection Organisation has threatened to ban all the structures built inside the complex of Kaina temple from April 28 if it is not removed within April 27 .
Talking to media persons at Manipur Press Club today, Laishram Maga said that the total area of Kaina temple is 7.23 acres and some of its disciples constructed several structures including a kitchen and a community hall in 2005 .
He said that villagers residing in and around the temple objected to the construction.
He reiterated that in this regard a meeting was held with DC Imphal East on October 24 of last year wherein the DC assured the villagers that an inquiry into the matter will be constituted.
As the assurance was not converted into action, another meeting with the DC was held on February 9 last in which the DC sought a 30 days time to meet the demand put up by the villagers, he conveyed.
