The Kuki Students' Organization Twibul block and Village Authority of Kangchup Makhom have restricted entry of any unauthorized persons or groups in the Kangchup Makhom vicinity from Thursday, owing to the continuous burning of suspected biomass since March 13.
General secretary, KSO Twibul Block, Thangboi Chongloi said that in connection with the continuous fire of presumably biomass near the vicinity of Kangchup Makhom, KSO and the Village Authority of Kangchup Makhom decided to restrict the entry of any unauthorised persons or groups to the spot from Thursday for the safety of the general public.
Chongloi said that as burning biomass creates air pollution that causes health hazards, the restriction is considered as a right move. He also warned that strict action will be taken against violators.
