Imphal, August 20 2013:
The people of Sawombung Village have stood firm against the land acquisition for construction of FCI godown.
Addressing media persons at Sawombung Community Hall yesterday, the Secretary of Sawombung Village Authority Semgat Sagat Marup M Shyamkishore said that the State Government's plan to acquire land for FCI godown cannot be accepted by the people.
More than 30 hectares of land have already been given to the Government for construction of various offices, schools and college in the past.
The people could not lose more land when most agricultural lands are diminishing with increase in human population.
The State Government should review its decision to acquire the land before any untoward incident happens, he cautioned.
