Imphal, October 12 2011:
The Khoupum Area Farmers' Association (KAFA) has objected to construction of Inter-Village Road (IVR) being undertaken by some Special Contractors at Nungadang under Khoupum TD Block.
In a statement, Chairman of KAFA Kabidon Malangmei contended that the said contractors have taken up the construction work of the IVR without the consent and knowledge of the landowners.
Construction of the IVR in question, which would stretch over 5 kms would affect major portion of arable land in Nungadang and this is not acceptable.
The Chairman has warned the contractors concerned against continuation of the work before arriving at a mutual understanding and negotiation between the parties involved.
