Imphal, August 06 2016 :
Riha Village Authority, Riha Tribunal cum
Advisory Board, Riha Shinao Long, Riha Youth Club and Riha
Students Union have condemned the Chief Engineer of IFCD for
making an announcement to inaugurate Mapithel dam before the
compensation packages for affected villages promised by the State
Government are settled.
In a joint statement, the bodies said that the Government
has failed to consider the plights of the affected villagers even
after the drowning of a villager, identified as Wilson Lunghar
(60) alias Sundayleng of Riha village.
The bodies further asked the Government not to go ahead
with its proposed plan of inaugurating the dam in September.
