IMPHAL, June 19: The State Public Health Engineering Minister Irengbam Hemochandra remained silent to questions placed by two opposition MLAs during today’s sitting of the ongoing Manipur Legislative Assembly session today on the “Sewerage Project” during discussion on Demands for Public Health Engineering Department.
During the general discussion of the Budget today, moving a Motion for Disapproval of Policy Cut, Thongju MLA Th Biswajit Singh asked the estimate cost on the Detailed Project Report of the ongoing work of Sewerage Project taken up in Imphal city and how much amount is still needed from the original DPR and if it is still lacking than why is it is being left like that.
He continued that the construction of the Administrative Block of the project taken up inside the Khuyathong Public Works Department campus looked to be only about 40 percent complete.
Moving a similar Cut Motion on the same demand, Thangmeiband MLA Kh Joykishan Singh also requested for a completion date for the sewerage project while asking if works are taken up in a sluggish manner.
Public Health Engineering Minister I Hemochandra provided clarification to all questions and observation raised during the discussion for the Demand of the department, however the Minister failed to provide any answers to the questions raised on the Sewerage project by the MLAs.
