Imphal, October 21 2014 :
Chief of Teiyang village, Chakpikarong subdivision has registered stiff opposition to the proposed shifting of site for construction of P/W from Theikhong river, Teijang village in Chandel district under the IFCD to Toupokpi.
In a statement, chief of Teiyang village, Thangkhomang Touthang said that the farmers of Teijang village as well as farmers from the surrounding villages have been impatiently waiting for the implementation of the project for quite many years hoping that the project would immensely benefit the farmers of the area.
The village chief said that such thoughtless act of shifting a particular developmental work from a particular village to another could cause misunderstanding among the villagers and its surrounding villages.
Meanwhile, the village chief also conveyed that the cultivable land has been remaining in waste since some years back due to absence of irrigation system.
