Heavy fuel’ leaked from power station in Manipur spills into streams

IMPHAL: Heavy fuel leaked from a power station in Manipur’s Imphal valley and spilled into streams flowing alongside it, officials said on Thursday.

The incident happened on Wednesday night at the Leimakhong power station in Kangpokpi district. Streams passing through villages such as Kanto Sabal and Sekmai were affected by the spill, they said.

These streams meet the Imphal river — the lifeline of the region — downstream, they added.PTI
