Imphal, February 06 2024:
Urging the State Government to disburse the sum of Rs 38.6 crore sanctioned by the Centre for affected farmers of Manipur, the Nongchup Imphal Loumee-Sinmi Chaokhat Thourang Lup has extended its support to COCOMI Farmers' Wing's demand to pay out the farmers by February 10 .
As per a statement issued by K Brajamani, secretary, NILSCTL, farmers had rejoiced when the compensation was announced by the Centre and had promptly submitted all the necessary documents.
Farmers have been urging the State Government to release the farmers' compensation before harvesting season but their pleas have fallen on deaf ears so far.
NILSCTL also expressed apprehension that the sanctioned funds might be diverted to meet other ends.
Thus, NILSCTL has resolved to sponsor COCOMI Farmers' Wing's demand and support all forms of agitation launched in this connection.
