Kakching, December 10 2023:
Kakching Ithei Committee organised a cleanliness drive along the roughly 5 km stretch of road from Grace Cottage Academy Kakching to Pallel Leimangai Chingjin along the Pallel-Mantak Road popularly known as Kakching Lourel Lambi today.
Speaking in this connection, Yengkhom Joykumar, secretary, Kakching Ithei Committee shared that during harvest season, heavy machinery and vehicles used in the harvesting of crops drag mud from the fields onto the roads and cause immense difficulties to the passing vehicles and pedestrians.
Mud and earth materials dragged up from the fields also have the potential to cause road accidents and health hazards in the form of dust pollution, he added.
In consideration of these facts, the Kakching Ithei Committee made the decision to conduct a cleanliness drive to rid the road stretch of the mud and earth materials with the help of Committee members and local farmers.
Further, the Committee secretary urged the public to help keep the canal running alongside the road clean as it serves a vital need for the people of Kakching and other neighbouring villages.
Urging people to refrain from disposing garbage into the canal, he added that the canal also provides water to Irengband Water Supply Scheme and Loushipatta Fish Farm.
