Imphal, July 11 2012:
Contending that the District Fish Seed Farm, Komlathabi has failed to serve its purpose, the Komlathabi Women's Organisation and Development Club have urged the Director of Fisheries to shift the farm to any other places in Chandel district and return the land of the farm to Komlathabi village.
A memorandum submitted to the Fisheries Director by the two bodies said that the land for the District Fish Seed Farm was donated by the village authority with great expectation that the farm would serve great purpose for the people of the State.
However, contrary to the expectation, no infrastructure development has been seen since its establishment in 1971 and the farm became dysfunctional for the past fifteen years, the memo said.
As such, the bodies demanded the shifting of the farm and return of the land to the villagers.
