Imphal, March 23: “There is no land dispute for the construction of the Sagolmang District Hospital as alleged by an organization through some local dailies”, Sorokhaibam Yaiskul, Secretary of the Sagomang District Hospital said during a press conference held today at Manipur Press Club
He said that the foundation stone for the construction of the Sagolmang district hospital was laid on 2011 and land owners have no objection to the construction of the hospital.
“This is a petty politics and an attempt to shift the hospital from the site to some other places” Yaiskul further said. He said land owner Nevideta and her Mother Lakhisana have already consented to use the land for the purpose of hospital construction.
An organization called Peace and Development Co-ordinating Committee, PDCC, Khundrapam and Shaikul have been alleging land dispute as the reason for delay in the construction of the hospital.
Publicity secretary of the organization, who was also present in the press meet, said that to make it clear about the problem the Khundrapam Kendra Development Committee had gone to the Health Director office yesterday and invited the member of the PDCC to sort out the misunderstanding. However, no members of the PDCC turned up. He said the Director of the Health Services have been conveyed about the peoples’ support to the construction of the hospital.
He further said that no compensation has been awarded but people are not protesting it as construction of the hospital is considered more important to them.
