Stating that farmers of Loushangkhong village are in no position to pay 'Lousal' to farm owners owing to the current ethnic violence in the state and rainfall deficit, Loushangkhong Village Welfare Development Committee has appealed to the farm owners not to demand Lousal this year.
In a statement, the committee informed that the decision to appeal to the farm owners not to take Lousal this year was taken in a joint meeting of the committee, local Meira Paibi and youth club considering the fact that farmers could not carry out farming activities effectively due to the current ethnic conflict in the state.
The joint meeting also drew attention of the government towards the need for compensating the affected farmers and providing seeds of winter crops so as to help in recouping their losses.
