Imphal, October 21 2015:
Meetei International Civic Action Network (MICAN) has earnestly appealed to the State Government to drop its plan to set up the proposed Film City/Institute at Chingkhu Khundrakpam under Imphal East.
MICAN maintained that the Film City will dislodge some 108.5 acre of arable land under the Land Acquisition Act, besides robbing livelihood of at least 2000 people.
Such a policy of the Government tantamount to violation of human rights, it said.
Chingkhu Khundrakpam Loukon Kanba Lup and Chingkhu Village Authority have launched intense agitation against the plan, MICAN said.
It feared that rice being the staple food of Manipur, continuous displacement of cultivable land could endanger the life of the people in near future.
