Imphal, February 20 2014 :
All Manipur Progressive Farmers' Association (AMPFA) yesterday staged a sit-n-protest at Keishampat Lairembi Community Hall demanding implementation of Agricultural Land Use Policy and Agricultural Produce Marketing Act in the State at the earliest.
Speaking to media persons on the sidelines of the protest demonstration, Joy Nongmaithem, president of AMPFA, said that the demand of the Association should be taken up for discussion in the Assembly Session to be held on February 24 as it is the need of the hour for the State as a whole.
He cautioned that the government should not take the demand lightly as the Association will continue to agitate until the demand is met.
