Imphal, April 26 2022:
Upon receiving report that some individuals collect earth/soil from Uran Loukol, Pannung Loukol and Langthrie Loukol, all falling under Keirao Bitra village, Nongpok Ningthou Panthoibi Development Committee, Keirao Bitra has appealed to all concerned to stop earth quarrying/excavation from the paddy fields with immediate effect.
According to a statement of the committee, removal of earth from these paddy fields has been banned in view of improper way of digging paddy fields which affects the environment and impedes agricultural activities.
Another reason for imposing the ban is the business oriented earth digging by some owners, the statement explained.
