Depopulation of villages around Liokha; deserted villages; thoughts on moving Semas into the area |
| text: |
Through Momphiyo, Lishiyo and Sengkha to Liokha, all of them small and dwindling villages, and none of them with more than 23 houses all told and most with less. Seven deserted sites were pointed out to me - Yoshomo (near Yimza on the Mesang side), Serkha, Morakcho, Yanthamo, Pangthung, Roni, Sipaya and Nichi (near Yamho). I really think that I shall have to introduce a few Semas here, though I doubt if the move will be popular locally. |
