IMPHAL, Nov 16: Former Minister Kh Jobon Singh, in a release, has condemned the act of burning down of 20 fishers’ huts on Loktak Lake by the state government.
He said that the act of SPF is akin to burning down of trucks and vehicles by blockade supporters on the national highways during economic blockade.

He further demanded the state government to take up appropriate action for resettlement of the displaced fishermen.
