“We have no appropriate words to express our horror and shock at such exhibition of inhuman cruelties. Every right thinking citizens should condemn such heinous crime against humanity in general and the Zeliangrong people in particular.

“Is this the way to treat your sisters?” they asked while adding, “ If you don’t respect the public, who will respect you. Public is water and you are like fish,” the AZSU and ZYF told the militant outfit.It is a clear picture that the State agencies failed to protect the peace loving bonafide citizens of Khoupum Valley, they stated. “ We appeal the state to immediately assist medical treatments, rehabilitation and reparation to the rape victims and institute impartial and independent inquiry into the case and book those found guilty according to law,” the AZSU and ZYF demanded.
Both the organisations then appealed all the “Naga national workers” to shun bloodshed and make way for peace among brothers in the region. “It is a fact that bloodshed and bullets never solve any problem in the world history and we should remember that people are anxiously waiting for peaceful solution with mutual dialogue and understanding once for all,” the AZSU and ZYF stated.
Meanwhile, as the condemnations pour in on the alleged gang rape of Khoupum Valley in Tamenglong district few days ago, ZUF publicity secretary A Dangmei said both Dibonpou Kamei and Ladjanbung Malangmei had defected from the ZUF “ and so they have nothing to do with our outfit.” The ZUF leader stated, “Once a cadre is defected from an outfit, that cadre is no longer considered to be in the organisation.” He clarified that Ladjanbung and Dibonpou had defected from the outfit with weapons.

Project may accordingly be executed as per the approved outlays in the State Annual Plans. The State Finance Department would restrict the expenditure to the approved cost and no additional expenditure beyond approved cost may be permitted unless the revised estimate is got approved following the prescribed procedure. In case of any further cost revision, the project shall be debarred from AIBP funding.
The project Authority must seek the approved of the “Command Area Development Plan” from the Planning Comission. The CAD works will also be executed concurrently with the project implementation so that the participation of the stake holder farmers is ensured right from the stage of project planning through implementation to maintenance. This will ensure that the outlay on the project is converted into enduring outcomes in the form of assured and sustainable irrigation benefits to the farmers. The pari-passu implementation of the project would be monitored by the Planning Commission.
The beneficiary farmers may be encouraged to take over the system after completion for operation and maintenance. The project envisages construction of a Barrage 78.75m long with six bays of 10m each to pass a design discharge of 2900 Cumec and a head regulator on the left bank. It will help in Annual Irrigation of 7545 ha of land.
The Dolaithabi Barrage Project situated at Dolaithabi in the Imphal East District of Manipur was approved by the Planning Commission in the year 1992 for an amount of Rs. 18.86 crore vide letter No. 20(12)/89-I & CAD dated 11-06-92. The latest revised cost of the project is Rs.215.52 Crore at 2008 price level. The Project was awarded in 1992 to M/S Jain & Associates, Calcutta and targeted for completion by 96-97. However, the contract was rescinded in 1995-1996 as the firm did not start the work.
Subsequently, it was again awarded to M/S NPCC Ltd. in Nov. 1996. The construction work was stalled due to insufficient fund as provided in the State Plan. Though the Project was financially supported by AIBP funding, inadequate release of the AIBP funds was also another major reason for stalling the progress of the work. In addition to this, the law & order situation at Project site has also been another reason for hampering the implementation of the project. However, the project was included in the Prime Minister’s Package during his recent visit to the State in November 2004. Accordingly the Project has been rescheduled for completion during March, 2012.
