Overview

• Angomcha Bimol Akoijam has moved the Manipur High Court seeking a court‑monitored investigation, district‑wise audits and verification of household connection claims under JJM.
• He alleges a systemic pattern of data manipulation and fund misappropriation, citing recurring complaints from districts including Senapati, Chandel, Tengnoupal and Ukhrul.
• During field visits to villages such as Toubul, Nachou, Phubala, Patsoi Part‑II, Kiyamgei and Yurembam, he reports finding no functional tap water supply in any household.
• Official replies cited by Akoijam state the Centre released Rs 1,303.27 crore for Manipur up to August 18, 2025, with Rs 1,078.82 crore reportedly utilised to add about 3.33 lakh rural connections and coverage claimed at roughly 79.6 percent.
• The PIL also asks the court to affirm access to safe drinking water as part of the right to life under Article 21 with a minimum two hours of daily supply, and there was no immediate response from the Centre to the allegations.
