IMPHAL, July 27, 2022:  UNLIKE the previous yester-years this time round Ukhrul has been more vocal, more highlights, more prominently reveals the major reality on the ongoing 2nd Session of the 12 Manipur Legislative Assembly by the Ukhrul MLA.

Terming as a historic narrative so far, so good on the parts of Ukhrul MLA Qr. Ram Muivah (@ Ramnganing Muivah) the Ukhrulians from young and old alike praising the people's representative (MLA) for giving out the moral responsibility of the constituency in an articulate and surgical penetration all for the love and concern towards the denizen.

On Day- 3 of the 2nd Session of the 12 Manipur Legislative Assembly, Ukhrul MLA Qr. Ram Muivah raised a question to Power Minister where 5 villages of Ukhrul district, namely, Ronshak, Sahamphung Sub- division HQ, Roni, Khayang and Phungtha are yet to be electrified.

The power Minister replied that this 5 villages were electrified through Solar Home Lightening system in every households with 5 bulbs, 1 Fan and 2 mobile charger under DDUGJY- DDG in Off- Grid mode scheme implanted by MANIREDA & MSPDCL, (SAUBHAGYA).

Further on questioning about the steps taken it is also informed that steps have been taken up to electrify under Grid mode system(conventional  lightening system) Strengthening Scheme within the current Financial year by MsPDCL.

Nevertheless, Ukl MLA ask for assurance from the minister in the house and the Minister gave a positive response.

In the supplementary question MLA Ram Muivah sharing the plight of the five ancient villages located in the Indo-Myanmar border of Manipur.

Qr. Ram Muivah popularly call Sir Amei Ning by the Tangkhulits amplified when I reached Phungtha village, it was 9 pm. The entire village was pitch-dark. Hon'ble power minister has reported that solar home lighting systems have been provided. One or two were functioning. Truly, the village was in sadness. I shall never forget the words uttered by them. Sir, every night after sunset, without power we felt blind. Our village is without a road. They felt lame. Our village doesn't have a mobile network. They felt dumb and deaf.

' Lest we forget, these six villages are located on the Indo-Myanmar border and they are ancient villages with a lot of respect and dignity. They are not going to come down to Imphal begging for a few mercies but they are truly sentinels of Manipur'.

They have been guarding the border for ages. They are ancient villages. So I would like to request the hon'ble Minister power that these five villages should be provided conventional power supply this current financial year. All the rest of the world takes for granted. 24/7 power supply in our backyard, which I should say that last Manipur Frontier- five villages are left without any government benefits. They are sisters, brothers, fathers, & mothers. They are truly our sentinels so it is my fervent hope that, the hon'ble minister will bring light to our brothers & sisters. Especially, one of the villages Sahamphung is a subdivision headquarters inaugurated by the 10th Chief Minster in 1983. I believe he came by chopper. Even after nearly half a century, they are without roads, without lights. So my final question to the hon'ble Minister, that please assure us, provide the conventional power supply. That is a brief note. Something reminds me while talking about these villages. When we were kids, we were told that the basic human needs are... This is something which we can not do in our daily life. Let us not forget that the rest of the world takes them for granted. Let us not ignore these people. Let us not grip with a few crores to invest in these villages. By investing a few crores in these villages, let's conquer the hearts and minds of the villages, the MLA pleads.
