Imphal, November 14 2012:
The Mapithel Dam Affected Villagers' Organisation (MDAVO) has urged the State Government to resume the expert review committee formed on January 18, 2008 to review the multifaceted impacts of Mapithel dam and the rehabilitation and resettlement issue of all communities affected by Mapithel dam.
A statement issued by the MDAVO Chairman has also urged the Government to respond the issues of malpractices and irregularities associated with verification process of affected people.
It also added that a respond from the Government is necessary but not from body like MDMPDVC.
The statement further demanded that the recent verification process at Mapithel Dam should be declared null and void as the verification was carried out in an atmosphere of duress and thus the process unacceptable to the larger community affected by Mapithel dam.
