Thoubal, January 21 2019:
As the State Government has failed to give positive response to the demand of Thoubal River Conservation Committee (TRCC) and All Thoubal Meira Paibi Association (ATMP A) to save Thoubal river from further deterioration, entry of water tankers and trucks to transport excavated sand and stones from the river bed of Thoubal river is banned until further notice, said a statement jointly issued by TRCC and ATMPA yesterday.
The move was taken up as no other options are available to save the river, it said and appealed all the concerned to support the initiative.
The statement further cautioned that the Committee would not be held responsible for any untoward incidents if found violating the restriction.
