IMPHAL, Feb 26: TAKDO Tribal Forum president Danylung Malangmei has denounced PHE minister I Hemochandra for not providing water to the Tarung Village in Thangmeiband.

Speaking to media persons in the village, Danylung said that even though a water reservoir is located just about a km from the village, the village is not provided drinking water.

He continued that the Chief Minister and the PHE minister had already assured laying of pipelines about two years back, but the assurance is yet to turn to action.

He continued the village and the neighbouring villages of Neikanlong and Guigailong are willing to extend fund for procurement of the pipes.

He further demanded the PHE minister to clarify on the issue at the earliest.

Youth president of the forum Gaidon Gangmei said that the statement of PHed Minister I Hemochandra is condemnable and added that the village is one of the oldest tribal villages in the State which enjoyed a good relation with the Kings of the land.

He said that the three villages have around 6000 to 7000 population and without potable water supply, the people are having a hard time.

He said if the minister fail to supply water to the area, then the villagers will take up vigorous steps including laying of the pipes themselves and connecting it to the water reservoir without the consent of the minister.
