Mapithel Dam Affected Ching-Tam Organisation, Ukhrul district submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister O Ibobi iterating that the allegation and written complaints lodged by the Headmen of Riha and Thawai villages regarding rehabilitation and resettlement (RR) packages and compensation of land and standing properties of Chadong and Lamlai Khunou villages are false and baseless.
The memorandum also demanded that RR programmes with regards to Louphong and other villages be implemented at par with Chadong and Lamlai Khunou villages as approved by the State Cabinet on September 13 last.
The memorandum, on the otherhand, lauded the State Government for approving RR packages and compensation under Mapithel Dam Thoubal Multipurpose Project for Chadong and Lamlai Khunou villages with a State Cabinet decision taken on September 13 last.
