Lamka: Manipur PHED Churachandpur | Zone-III Water Supply Timetable

WATER is one of the most basic needs, yet in Lamka and across Churachandpur, people face daily struggles to access clean drinking water.

Public supply is irregular, borewell water is often unsafe, and many households depend on makeshift purifiers.

The Khuga Dam project began in 1983 as a multipurpose scheme to supply electricity and water. After years of delay and silence, work resumed only in 2002. On 12 November 2010, the dam was officially inaugurated by Sonia Gandhi. The dam stands 38 meters high and 230 meters wide, with a cost of about INR 2.5 billion. Yet, despite such a huge investment, it has brought no real benefits to the people of Lamka or Churachandpur district.

Despite the presence of Khuga Dam nearby, its benefits have not reached the people. Residents wait for hours with buckets and cans whenever water is released. 

This timetable from PHED shows the limited schedule on which families must rely for their daily needs.
