Noney, November 20 2022:
A team of Zeliangrong Student Union Union Manipur (ZSUM) along with villagers yesterday inspected the construction site of water supply scheme under Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) at Charoichagotlong Part-1 (Phoibut), Noney district.
Speaking to media persons, Dinkhuilung Thaimei, forest & environment secretary of ZSUM alleged that the contractor of the project completed the construction work without providing pipelines for majority households of the village.
He stated that as per the signboard installed by PHED at Phoibut village an estimated cost of Rs 50 lakh was sanctioned under JJM Scheme for the water supply project.
He continued that following complaints from the villagers, a team of ZSUM carried out the inspection and found that the pipeline connections were not completed.
"Only 2/3 households have pipeline connections out of the total 92 households in the village", he added.
He also alleged that some people are misusing the schemes and projects initiated by the Government to bring development in the State especially in the hill districts.
Dinkhuilung Thaimei further cautioned that ZSUM will not remain a mere spectator and launch democratic agitation if the authority concerned failed to take necessary actions at the earliest.
