Imphal, December 21 2020:
United Club Co-Ordinating Committee (UCCOC), Urup Keirao, Kiyamgei appealed to the Government and authorities concerned to put off the eviction order of illegal structures above the Iril River banks at Urup, Keirao and Makting for the time being.
The Committee requested to postpone the eviction drive on humanitarian ground, giving time to make alternative arrangements and when there is a proper policy of the Government to construct roads.
Stating that it is unfortunate that the eviction order issued by SDO, Keirao Bitra is particularly only for Urup, Keirao and Makting in Keirao A/C and not for the whole stretch of Iril River, the committee opined that it seems to be influenced by some individuals.
Further UCCOC urged to carry out the eviction for the whole stretch of Iril River and not for some particular areas.
