Imphal, August 18 2021:
Unhappy over the exclusion of Old Cachar to Power house approach road from the government's development programmes even roads linking Tupul and Thangal village and Thangal village to dam site of Loktak Downstream Hydro Electric Project have been included in the said programmes, aggrieved landowners have blocked the Old Cachar road indefinitely.
Speaking to media persons at ADC Bhawan, Chingmeirong on Wednesday, one of the landowners identified as Athui Pao Kamei said that they did not hinder the developmental initiatives taken up by the government, but the skipping of an important approach road could not be accepted.
A memorandum had also been submitted to CM, DC concerned and NHPCL in this regard, Kamei informed, while urging authorities concerned to address their grievances at the earliest.
