Imphal, October 08 2014:
The silver jubilee celebration of Loktak Day was held at Moirang Sendra public ground under the aegis of Loktak Lake Development Organisation today.
Speaking at the occasion, Chief Minister O Ibobi said that Loktak is a priceless possession of all the Manipuris bestowed by the Goddess of nature.
Observing that it feels bad looking at the deteriorating condition of Loktak, he added that the reasons for its deterioration include felling of trees around the lake which leads to soil erosion and later gets drained into the lake along with the wastes from Nambul river, building huts on phumdis without proper sanitation.
