Laipham Khunou Zilla Parishad in association with Nagaram Village Authority, Meira Paibi, Laipham Khunou Gram Panchayat, Namdunlong Development Committee, Thoubei and Councillor of Ward No 23 has cleansed Naga River channel flowing through the side of Dingku Road and in front of Namdunlong Village today.
Laipham Khunnou ZP Member, Paonam Sunder said that the cleansing drive was conducted to prevent inundation of paddy fields at Ahallup, Kairang, Laipham Khunou and Lairikyengbam Leikai, and inundation at Namdunlong, Gaipunam, Ragailong etc due to overflow of the River at a slight spell of rainfall, caused by choking up of the river channel due to the growing of plants at riverbed, and making it a dumping site of waste matter by vegetable sellers and butchers there.
As the river channel is cleansed, its flow would not be obstructed which will solve the inconveniences caused to the people especially the children while going to school, Sunder added and appealed the people, vegetable sellers and butchers not to dump waste matter in the river.
