Imphal, July 01 2015 :
In reply to a call attention motion raised by MLA Th Shyamkumar in the State Assembly, Forest and Environment Minister Th Devendra said that the Government is investigating the report that some parts of Ngariyan hill have been flattened to set up an ecological park.
Informing the House that the area was announced as a protected forest area in 1966, the Minister said that a man identified as Tomba from Bishnupur has been pulled up with earth moving machinery for allegedly being involved in flattening around 2 hectares of Ngariyan hill.
Th Shyamkumar said that most of the arrested persons are usually released with the instructions from the higher echelons of the Government.
As such, the Government must spell out the names of the persons who had hired Tomba for the said work.
