Imphal, June 03 2024: The on going construction on the water supply scheme at Laphupat Tera in Mayang Imphal AC under the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) is around 95 per cent complete.

As such, MLA K Rob-indro has taken up steps to commence supply of water to areas where water pipes have been laid, Komlakhong Gram Panchayat ex-pradhan and currently nominated chairperson Ningthoujam Basanta informed on Monday.

Basanta was responding to allegations levelled by one Md Nasimuddin, member of Ward No.4 of the GP on Sunday, regarding absence of water supply connection in Laphupat Tera, Komlakhong, where the first Go to Village mission in Imphal West district was kicked off.

Basanta continued that there is no member by the name of Md Nassimuddin in Ward No.4 of Komlakhong GP at present or in the past.

The current nominated member is one Md Sammad, he said, while denouncing the baseless claims made by unrelated person in media to defame the dignity of the people living under the GP.

He stated that after the Go to Village mission was launched, other government schemes also began to benefit the people living in the area.

With regard to the water supply scheme at Laphupat Tera, the construction of the water filter tank, storage tank and overhead tank have been completed, along with the laying of a 5km pipeline with only 2km of pipe left to be laid at present.

Despite the issues faced due to the pandemic and then the Meetei-Kuki conflict, efforts are being made to complete the work as soon as possible.

Additionally, efforts are underway to supply water within the next two months to areas where the pipelines have already been laid.

As such, it is unfortunate to have someone made baseless comments in media without checking the progress, he remarked.

Basanta then said that there is nothing shameful about Laphupat Tera Aided High School.

While process was underway to despatch two teachers to Konuma Primary School, the Code of Conduct was enforced and as such, the process was halted temporarily.

Nonetheless, the teachers will soon be dispatched, he assured.

He continued that Komlakhong PHSC is carrying Out routine immunisation for children and urged all to not make to careless statements without investigating the facts.
