Imphal, February 19 2015:
Alleging that some people had surveyed and marked a 50 feet land area for construction of a new road without the knowledge of the farmers concerned, Heirok Part II Kangdabi Loukol farmers have today expressed strong condemnation of the act at a press meet called by the farmers at Manipur Press Club.
Speaking at the occasion, a farmer of Kangdabi Loukol, Khundongbam Ibochou said the farmers were not informed about the survey allegedly made by a team for construction of a new road.
The said road, he added, would be about 50 ft wide.
The surveying team was first detected by farmers who were, at that time, working at their respective fields.
"We strongly condemn such intrusion", the farmer stated adding that the matter would be reported to the authorities concerned at the earliest.
