Imphal, May 26 2013:
Alleging that UNNACO has fenced encroaching public land at Khongman, youth clubs of Khongman and Torban Kshetri Leikai have asked the private company to vacate the encroached land within 10 days.
In this regard, a public meeting was today held at Hindi High School, Khongman in the presence of local MLA Thongam Bishwajit, SEYO President AK Sanaton, Torban Kshetri Leikai Gram Panchayat Pradhan Longjam Sunil and Ward Members.
SEYO President AK Sanaton said that 3-km canal which passes through Kongba Road and Ideal College Tingongkhong is becoming narrow day by day owing to encroachment and subsequent construction of buildings by UNNACO.
Saying that the private company has even fenced the area, he said that such constant encroachment creates artificial flood at the area frequently.
Announcing the resolution adopted in the meeting, AK Sanaton said that UNNACO must vacate the the encroached land within 10 days.
Taking part at the meeting, MLA Bishwajit urged the people residing on both sides of the canal, which is around 100 years old, to vacate the encroachments which makes the canal becoming narrow and creates artificial flood.
