Imphal, October 18 2022:
People at Singjamei staged a sit-in protest today condemning supply of 'contaminated' water.
The protest was held at Singjamei Sanasam Leikai.
The Water Supply Scheme of the area had supplied 'contaminated' water in areas under Ward No 17 of Imphal Municipal Council, said sources.
Protesters at the sit-in said the water supplied was not even fit for bathing.
Households in the area have been getting the same 'contaminated' water since the past 3 months.
Despite appeals made to the authorities concerned, the condition of the water supplied has not changed, they said.
They appealed to Chief Minister N Biren Singh and authorities concerned to look into the issue and provide the households in the area with clean drinking water.
