Imphal, December 07 2014:
A protest demonstration was staged today at Tera Lukram Leirak Machin under the aegis of Sagolband Tera Lukram Leirak and Yambem Leirak Apunba Lup against the alleged encroachment by an individual into a community pond.
Talking to media persons by the sidelines of the protest demonstration, Young Development Organisation, Sagolband secretary Kh Ingocha said that a family residing just adjacent to the community pond started encroaching upon the pond by filling earth since January last year.
The pond is being used as a water reservoir for the local crematorium.
Even as the matter was apprised to the SDC Patsoi on March 23, 2013, the SDC did not take up action.
The protesters demanded befitting punishment for the encroachers and proper demarcation of the area.
