- NEW DELHI — The Congress on Saturday expressed concern over the rising water
level in Imphal river and said this has compounded the distress of the people
of the state, which is under President's rule.
-
- Sharing a government advisory over rising water levels in
the river due to heavy rainfall, Congress general secretary, communications,
Jairam Ramesh said President's rule has been a "failure" in Manipur
and the agony of the people continues in the trouble-torn state.
-
- "The agony of the people of Manipur continues. The PM persists
in ignoring their pleas to visit the state. President's Rule has been a marked
failure. Discredited BJP MLAs are busy jockeying for power.
-
- "Now comes news that the Imphal River is flowing well
above the high flood level. This, coupled with mismanagement, has compounded
the distress of the people of the state - especially in and around
Imphal," Ramesh said in a post on X.
