Imphal, January 20 2023:
The Magulong Village Authority and the Ever Spring Park Project Committee expressed gratitude to official representatives of Water Resources Department for visiting Magulong village on Saturday and physical inspection of the 'Ngulua Tekua' (spring well) at Ever Spring Park, Magulong.
According to Magulong chairman Deichong Disuang, a team of six WRD staffers led by its executive engineer Rajan Salam and Saheed came to the village and oversaw the condition of the well.
"We also extend our acknowledgement and appreciation to Water Resources minister Awangbow Newmai, for his concern and sending the team to the village," said the chairman in a release.
While informing that proposal to construct a bigger water reservoir at the downstream of the spring was submitted to the team, it expressed hope that the department will favourably consider the proposal as such a structure will help store the spring water proportionately throughout the year.
Mention may be made Magulong village initiated a project called Ever Spring Park and built a small reservoir to reserve water for the villagers.
However, the reservoir was not enough for reservation and redistribution for the whole village.
"Given that this spring has survived through the years without any relapse and has continued to remain a blessing to the people, construction of an additional bigger reservoir will help in easing the problem of water shortage in the village," said the release.
