Chandel, December 06 2015 :
Several organisations in Chandel will hold a mass rally against the State Cabinet's decision and alleged submission of wrong concept paper on anti- erosion and flood control scheme 2014-15 submitted by IFCD and MI department would be held on December 10 in Chandel's Japhou Bazar.
A joint statement of Anal Naga Tangpi, Anallon Chief Association and Maha Area Chiefs' Association, issued on Sunday said that the rally has been organised to protest the cabinet decision dated November 30 wherein four tribal villages of both Chandel and Chakpikarong Sub divisions have been carved out for inclusion in the proposed Sugnu SDC circle of Thoubal district.
" The state Irrigation & Flood Control Department (IFCD) and Minor Irrigation (MI) department had turned down our demand for rectification of the blueprint as well as our humble request to make physical spot enquiry of the flood affected areas of Chandel and Chakpikarong blocks along with leaders of Anal civil societies", alleged the organisations.
They further alleged that huge amount of funds under Brahmaputra Schemes and Minor Irrigation programme have been misused by Minor Irrigation (MI) and Irrigation & Flood Control Department (IFCD) for the last many years.
The statement appealed all Anal in Chandel to take part in the protest rally to be flagged off from Maha Union Government School ground at 11 am wearing traditional attires.
