Farmers of Sangaiyumpham have refuted the statement made by Khangabok MLA Surjakumar Okram to media that water was released on Monday from Sangaiyumpham Dam for Sangaiyumpham Sabal Khunou Canal and Thambam Angangbi Turel which pass through Sangaiyumpham and Khangabok villages for the benefit of the farmers of the area.
Following the claim made by the MLA, a meeting was held at Sangaiyumpham on Monday.
After the meeting, one Zakir stated that they do not believe in the statement of MLA Surjakumar as it was BJP Manipur Pradesh former vice president Thokchom Jadumani along with Department officials under the aegis of chief minister N Biren, who released the water from the Mapithel Dam to the left canal and provided irrigation water to Sangaiyumpham farmlands.
