Imphal, July 22 2024:
Moirang Kendra Apunba Loumee Shinmi Amasung Nupi Lup has threatened to launch intense agitation in case authorities concerned do not disburse compensation to farmers whose farmlands could not be cultivated due to the on-going violence.
In a release, the Lup informed that its members and UCM Moirang Unit held a meeting on Monday at Tronglaobi Ima Panthoibi Mandap to discuss grievances of the farmers eligible to avail compensation in the second phase but are denied the same till date.
Noting that disbursal of compensation for the first phase had already been started, the Lup demanded release of the pending compensation to the violence-affected farmers.
The release also urged all concerned to discuss plight of the farmers during the monsoon session of Parliament and help the farmers in distress.
