Imphal land row hots up
The Telegraph | July 18 , 2011
The dispute over a residential area in the heart of this town has reached the flash point with the Manipur government trying to acquire it for a state-owned five-star hotel and the 35 residents resisting the move tooth and nail.
The vigilance commission has also asked the landowners for their original land pattas as part of the inquiry.
“All these are attempts to browbeat the landowners and acquire the land forcibly. We will not succumb to such an undemocratic approach of the government,” the chairman of the area, also known as Naga River Colony, K. Golmei, said.
Responding to the vigilance commission’s directive, 11 landowners wrote to the commission to wait till disposal of the court case. A joint action committee formed by the landowners is now consulting legal experts on how to respond to the revenue commissioner’s showcase notice.
