Objection raised against Oil Exploration in Manipur
Camp: Parbung, Churachandpur, August 7, 2012
A public meeting with regard to the proposed Public Hearing to be conducted by Manipur Pollution Control Board with regard to Oil Exploration & Drilling Activities done under Jubilant Oil & Private Limited was held today at Parbung Community Hall. More than 200 Village Authority Chairmen & members, Village elders and leaders attended the meeting.
After threadbare discussion and deliberation, the gathering unanimously decided to raise objection of the drilling and exploration activities undertaken by JOGPL as the MoU signed by the company with Manipur state government on November 15, 2010 was without the consent and approval of the indigenous villagers, the Autonomous District Council nor the Manipur Hill Areas Committee.
The Tipaimukh Area Village Authority Union was entrusted to make the said objection in the proposed Public Meeting to held tomorrow at Parbung.
