Imphal, November 20 2015 :
All Loktak Lake Areas Fishermen's Union Manipur (ALLAFUM) on the occasion of the 4th commemoration day of Loktak Lake Phumshang Arson by Loktak Development Authority (LDA) has expressed deep concern over the eviction of Loktak Lake Phumshang by LDA along with its agencies from November 15 to 23 in 2011 wherein a total of 777 Phumshangs out of 1147 were burnt down at Loktak Lake without prior consent of the dwellers.
In the eviction drive all fishing gears, household materials, ration, clothing, money, ornaments and other valuable items were burnt down.
ALLAFUM will continue to strive for justice and appealed to the State Government not to deprive them their Constitutional rights.
