Imphal, July 03 2015 :
MLA RK Anand today made a spot assessment of the ongoing Waishel Maril de-clogging/dredging work at Irom Meijrao.
Speaking to media persons in the course of the inspection visit, RK Anand underscored the importance of Waishel Maril.
Even though it is not a very big canal, it drains many areas of Patsoi, Sagolband, Keishamthong and Naoriya Pakhanglakpa Assembly segments.
Its length within Naoriya Pakhanglakpa A/C is almost 13 kms and it is the main drainage system within the Assembly segment.

Under the sponsorship of NEC, retaining walls are being constructed along the canal at Kwakeithel area.
Anand claimed that Waishel Maril section under Naoriya Pakhanglakpa A/C is being dredged and de-clogged every year, sometimes using his MLA Local Area Development Fund.
After completing the de-clogging work from Kwakeithel Heinou Khong-nembi to Ningombam, the same work has now reached Irom Meijrao.
Encroachment and disposing waste materials along the course of Waishel Maril is quite common in some neighbouring Assembly segments and this is a matter of serious concern, Anand decried.
With a view to protect Waishel Maril, a detailed project report has been submitted to the relevant authority under Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme.
The project includes construction of retaining walls from Kwakeithel to Ningom-bam and dredging up to Pukhrambam.
However, the project has not been approved as yet, he added.
