NEDF concerned over flood

IMPHAL, Jul 25: North East Dialogue Forum has urged the concerned authority to establish special independent team to investigate the function of NHPC and NEEPCO and violation of the guideline of operating the projects which cause the grave human right situation in Assam and Manipur this year.
In a statement, NEDF demanded that the Loktak project in Manipur and Ranganadi Pare project be de-commissioned at the earliest. This year people in the valley in Manipur face grave situation of unusual flood four times. Many villages in the Imphal valley had to relocate their habitation more than four times.
The difficulties faced by the people specially the women, children, disable etc are imaginable. One of the most important reasons for such hardship face by the people is Ithai Barrage under the Loktak Hyro Power project. The NHPC failed to open the gate of the Ithai barrage where half of the valley are under water. The management and staff of NHPC/ NEEPCO are more concerned about their profits from which they got their salary at the cost of people’s lives and suffering, NEDF said.
