The Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) officials said necessary drinking water is being provided to the villagers of Kanto Sabal and a tube well has been dug which will soon be made operational.
The MHRC has directed DGP, Manipur to investigate as to whether the leakage was carried out by any particular group of people/miscreants to harm the people, including the areas where the streams pass through.
The Manipur State Power Distribution Company Limited (MSPDCL) filed a written complaint about theft and burglary incidents following a heavy fuel leakage at the Leimakhong power plant in Kangpokpi district. A Zero FIR has been registered, and security forces are working to identify and arrest the accused persons. The spillage of heavy oil led to contamination of the nearby river, posing a threat to public water supply and creating an environmental hazard.
YFPHR president T Sadishkanta, in a release, decried the alleged intentional contamination of Makha Loukhong due to oil spillage said to be originated from Leimakhong thereby affecting the streams.
The oil leak from a defunct heavy fuel power plant in Manipur's Leimakhong on Wednesday happened allegedly after "incidents of theft and burglary" at the abandoned facility, according to a police complaint filed by the Manipur State Power Co. Ltd.
