Imphal, November 29 2023:
The Directorate of Fisheries has notified all concerned for removal of unauthorised constructions and halt encroachments around "Takmu Experimental Fish Farm" in Bishnupur district failing which eviction drive will be launched by the Department in coordination with Bishnupur district authorities.
In a notification, fisheries director H Balkrisna Singh pointed out that Takmu Experimental Farm is being protected by the Department of Fishery for sustainable development of fisheries activities and enhancement of the livelihood of the local people inhabiting in the periphery of the lake.
Encroachment in any form inside the boundary of the Farm is unlawful and prohibited, the director cautioned.
The director also expressed concern that due to increasing encroachment within the natural boundary of the lake shore and illegal constructions by the encroachers, the environment and eco-system of the lake has been degenerating gradually.
