‘Hasty’ water project irks NPO

Dimapur, November 15 (MExN): The Manipur government is pulled up by the Naga People’s Organization for what was stated to be a ‘hasty’ and tentative water project in Ikailongdi, Karong and Naga Taphou in Senapati. The NPO in a note today expressed resentment and unhappiness that Manipur’s PHED minister TN Haokip had today inaugurated the NLCPR drinking water project “in spite of the fact that many important works are still yet to be completed as per the norms of the said project”. 

“It may be noted that the NPO in the past has already requested the state government, concerned minister and department that the said project should be inaugurated only after necessary works are completed and therefore the drinking water project is ready to the distribution points in their respective locations” stated a note from the NPO through its publicity secretary K Kevin Kamba. The storage tank for distribution to different points has yet to be constructed while the plumbing is incomplete, the NPO added.

Expressing dismay and surprise, the NPO said the minister and department in concern “fooled the general public” of Senapati “by pronouncing the inauguration of the project hastily even without unveiling the inaugural stone and in the absence of the general public”. The NPO has asked the minister and department in concern to ‘fully complete’ the said project “with the required norms and conditions”. The NPO has warned that failure to do so would attract any form of agitation against the state government.
