Imphal, August 02 2015:
While expressing grievance over the death of 21 people on Saturday's landslide in Chandel district, Janata Dal United on Sunday demanded the State Govt to declare National Disaster in Manipur.
During a press meet at Babupara, JD(U) President Moirangthem Tombi also called on the Govt to formulate a long term policy for the hills to prevent deforestation which often leads to landslides in the hill areas.
Tombi said that only table works will let the situation get worse.
He said engineers of Irrigation and Flood Control Department (IFCD) always know flood happens almost every year in the State.

Demanding compensation for the farmers who had lost their paddy fields and fish farms in the flood, the State JD (U) president also asked for sending medical relief team to the affected areas, besides supplying safe drinking water to the people since there is risk of spreading many water borne diseases in the areas.
General Secretary of JD (U) Lin Gangte asked the reason for failure of the Government to dispatch the State Disaster Management Team to the site where a major landslide had killed many villagers while the National Disaster Response Team had already reached there for a rescue operation.
The party also demanded immediate relief measures for the affected people.
