Imphal, August 25 2014:
The JAC of Khuga Dam condemned the breaches on the irrigation channels of Khuga Dam.
Stating the same incident had occurred twice in the past, the Joint Committee alleged the irregularities and misappropriation of funds for the incident.
The JAC of Khuga Dam stated that it will spearhead the issue by all means for the completion and functioning of the three components of the multi-purpose project.
The Committee further added that the breaches in Khuga Dam's right and left canals occurred despite the I&FC Department's claim that it has been completed and the maintenance cost is exhausting the AIBP fund.
The local people claimed that huge areas of paddy fields and standing crops were destroyed by the breaching canals and if left unattended will soon claim human lives and destroy houses.
