Imphal, September 20 2024:
Moirang Kendra Apunba Loumee Shinmi Amasung Nupi Lup has cautioned of launching intense agitation if authorities concern do not disburse pend ing compensation to farmers affected by the ongoing conflict, within this month.
In a release, the Lup stated that the failure of both state and central governments to end the conflict lingering for over 16 months has affected farmers the most.
As cultivation works could not be carried out, everyone is bearing the brunt of skyrocketing prices of essential items while farmers' groups have been demanding timely disbursal of compensation already sanctioned by the centre to the affected farm ers.
Yet, the state government has been undermining the demand, it denounced, while cautioning that farmers of Bishnupur district will resort to intense agitation if the government continue to deny second phase compensation to the farmers within September.
