A farmers present at the protest said the veterinary hospital has been lying defunct and locked for a long time.
There are no signs of the presence of any doctor or staff in the hospital since long, he added.
He continued that water supply in Lamlai is also pitiable.
Although there is a FCI godown in the constituency, not a single item has been distributed to the farmers, rather the godown is always packed with personnel from the Lamlai Police, he continued adding that although the Lamlai Police seems to be working hard to safeguard the public, there is no proper structure or site to be called the Lamlai Police Station.
The police personnel have occupied the Electricity building as their barrack and FCS godown is converted as the main office of the police officers, said Poireihenba.
A meira paibi said there are government schools like the Lamlai UJC primary school near Patlou however there is no students as the parents are afraid to send their wards to the schools with dangerous infrastructure.
