Imphal, April 10 2015 :
Human Resource Innovative Front (HRIF) has demanded to suspend road widening at 'Heingang Ebudhou Marjing Khubham Ching'.
HRIF welcomes the Government's decision to develop a tourist centre at 'Heingang Ebudhou Marjing Khubham Ching' .
However it is worried over the cutting of old and valuable trees around the place.
As informed by a press release issued by HRIF President Wakambam Brajakumar, the road widening process taken up has trespassed the existing 15 feet wide and 5km long area of Heingang Ebudhou Marjing, in the process destroying the old pine trees around the area.
Considering the environmental destruction and religious sentiment HRIF appealed to suspend road widening.
HRIF also draws the attention of the department.
