Kakching, October 12 2023:
Floating of pig carcases on the Sheng-mai river is creating panic among people relying on the river at several areas of Tengnoupal and Kakching districts like Pallel, Kakching, Keirak, Wabagai and others.
Around 15/16 pig carcases are floating on Shengmai river water and stuck at the upstream of Half-dam, Wabagai Thingel Leikai at present consequently making the local panicky and reluctant to use the river water.
Meanwhile, some concerned locals appealed pig rearers not to discard dead pig in the river as it may contaminate the water.
The locals also suggested that pig rearers bury the perished livestock instead of throwing along river stream and think for the public who rely on water of Shengmai river.
They also urged authority concerned to take necessary action at the earliest.
