Imphal, June 20 2016:
Even as one month has passed since rainstorm had struck villages under Khousabung DCC headquarters of Henglep AC, Churachandpur district, about five families are still waiting for relief measures from the Government, the Khousabung Sub-Division Demand Committee, Churachandpur district said.
In a statement, the KSDDC strongly denounced the alleged inactivity and insensitivity of the Government to the rainstorm-affected victims of Khousabung area when affected victims of other parts of the State already received adequate amount of relief.
The rainstorm that lashed the area on May 13, 2016 razed to ground two houses at Bunglon village while roofs of several houses were blown away at Khousabung, Khoirentak and neighbouring villages.
The KSDDC urged the authority concerned to act swiftly so that the storm-affected victims are adequately compensated.
It said that the insensitivity of the power that be is once again reflected in the delay tactics of the Govt in distributing relief materials.
For long, the Govt of Manipur has wilfully neglected Khousabung District Council Constituency.
As such, the area has today become one of the most backward regions of Manipur.
The KSDCC once again called for immediate creation of Khousabung Sub- Division in order to address development issues and to right the historical wrongs of the past.
"We will strive and continue the people's movement for creation of Khousabung Sub � Division till our dreams and goals are met by the Government of Manipur," it affirmed.
