Manipur Loumi Lup and farmers' wing of Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) have strongly condemned burning of paddy stacks of one Ningthoujam Dinesh which were kept for threshing at Keirao Bitra Makha Leikai Loukol by unidentified miscreants.
In separate releases, Manipur Loumi Lup and Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI), Farmers'Wing demanded authorities concerned to arrest and punish those involved in the heinous act of burning the paddy stacks stringently.
Pointing out that farmers are in apprehension of possible scarcity of paddy in the state as there will be insufficient productivity due to shortage of rainfall and failure to cultivate crops in the fields at foothills, they denounced the inhumane act of burning the paddy stacks amidst the trying times.
They also demanded the government to compensate the farmers for his loss.
