Imphal, April 10 2013:
Reiterating that it would not compromise on construction of multipurpose dam across the Chakpi river in Chandel district, the Chandel Naga Peoples' Organisation (CNPO) has urged the concerned authorities to withdraw the proposal for construction of the dam in the interest of public aspiration.
A statement issued today by the general secretary of CNPO, Chapa Bd Betha has raised strong objection to the proposed dam construction across Chakpi river which allegedly negated the democratic rights of people of Chandel.
The CNPO general secretary insisted should endeavour to bring in peace, development, stability and progress by understanding and respecting the wishes of the people.
It further said that the Government should obtain the free, prior and informed consent of the people concerned while implementing any programme or project.
