Stating that the Iril River runs through the length and breadth of Arapti Urup, the Social Welfare Joint Director pointed out that despite this, the irrigational infrastructure of the region is still lacking.
This is one of the main hurdles facing farmers of the area, he said.
On a different note, Bantee stated that the monthly Rs 3000 he used to donate to AUFA had stopped due to the conflict, but he assured to resume the donation from next month.
Speaking as the chief guest, Bijoy Kakchingtabam said that despite the losses and grief brought by the unrest, crop production cannot come to a standstill.
