Bishnupur, December 20 2023:
MLA of Kumbi Assembly Constituency, S Premchandra inspected the progress of construction work of the canal stretching from Uyunghouba Makhong till Borayangbi which is around 17 kilometres long.
The canal is being constructed to provide water from the mini dam constructed over Khuga river for regular supply of water in the fields along this stretch to increase productivity.
The canal is from Uyunghoubi till Wangoo Chuthek passing through Setupur, Terakhong Maril, Wangoo Sabal and Selungkhong.
The newly constructed canal will supply water to paddy fields stretching over 2500 pari in areas of Terakhong, Ithai, Haotak and Wangoo.

The MLA visited the canal construction site and assessed the work directly and found that construction is completed for a stretch of around four kilometres.
Speaking in connection with the inspection visit, the MLA informed that the decision to construct the canal has been taken after consulting the locals to address the issue of water shortage crisis in the paddy fields of Kumbi AC.
He maintained that the water scarcity issue worsened ever since the outbreak of the tragic communal conflict and scanty rainfall this year.
Expressing belief that the first phase of construction of the canal will be completed soon, the MLA informed that once it is completed, water will be supplied in the canal by blocking water at the mini dam.
He also appealed to the farmers of the region to put in all possible efforts to enhance productivity amid these challenging times and make Kumbi a model constituency in terms of food production.
A villager of Setupur expressed gratitude to Kumbi AC MLA for taking up measures to construct the canal in the interest of the villagers and farmers of the region.
In view of the water scarcity issues faced by the residents of Setupur Mamang Leikai due to the ongoing canal construction work, the villagers appealed to the MLA to look into the matter and resolve the issue at the earliest.
