Imphal, December 18 2013:
The Kuki Students' Organisation (KSO) Thangting unit, Churachandpur has banned the ongoing Accelerated Water Supply Scheme under Bishnupur at Masem Lui (Ngadei river) with immediate effect.
A statement issued by secretary of KSO Thangting, Ngulkholun Singson said that the water in Masem Lui is not sufficient for the local people and there is no question of accelerating the same to other locations.
Besides, chiefs of the surrounding areas were neither consulted nor taken into confidence as per Kuki customary laws before implementing the scheme, the KSO pointed out adding that the Govt should first fulfil its earlier promises before taking up any project in Thangting area.
