The said land is a khash land where for generation farmers have been using to and fro to Keirou Loukon but since the set up of gate and encroachment of land by the school have created a big problem for the farmers to reach the loukon, he added.
“Reaching to Keirou loukon is a big problem as there are no proper route way to the loukon though the only route is the narrow roadway available in between Takyel Kolom Leikai and Langjing Achouba which directly reach to the centre point of the loukon but unfortunately the route is no more useable due to the construction of fencing wall and gate of the Kinder Garden Montessori School”, said Ranjit.
