Imphal, May 21 2021:
Dr Chalton lien Amo, MLA of Tipaimukh Assembly Constituency requested the Chief Minister N Biren Singh to provide a new site for cemetery in Imphal in order to solve the immediate need of the Christians in Imphal area.
In a letter addressed to the Chief Minister, Dr Chalton lien Amo listed a number of problems faced by the Christians in Imphal which needs immediate attention which included a new site for cemetery in view of the prevailing COVID-19 situation.
He continued that when a person of Christian community dies of COVID-19, the nearby locals do not allow the burial of dead body in the cemetery at Chingmeirong which compels them to take the body to their respective villages located in remote hill areas thereby adding more burden to the bereaved families.
Therefore, in order to solve problems faced by the Christians in Imphal City, he urged the Government to help in providing an appropriate site with financial help for a new cemetery to bury those who die due to COVID-19 and other natural deaths as well.
