Imphal, February 11 2020:
Condemning the illogical, undemocratic and untenable decision of the then Okram Ibobi Singh Government that was arrived at on February 10 four years ago, the public of Khousabung Region hold a Mass Candle Light Vigil last night at Khousabung Bazar in Churachandpur District of Manipur.
The public demonstration, besides others, is a continuation of the long fight for justice and demands for immediate creation of Khousabung Sub - Division.
Khousabung is located in the most centre point of the mighty Thangting / Thangjing Hill Range and is the Headquarters of 01 - Khousabung District Council Constituency since 1972 .
It may be pointed out that the then Okram Ibobi Singh Government took an unilateral and divisive Cabinet Decision renaming the erstwhile Thangting Sub - Division to Kangvai on February 10, 2016, smashing the popular sentiments and aspirations on the ground, and side stepping the public demand for creation of Khousabung Sub - Division.
It may be recalled that more than 117 villages out of a total of 125 villages and localities have supported and endorsed Khousabung as Sub - Divisional Headquarters.
"Khousabung has been a political martyr in the hands of the Congress for electing BJP candidate to the District Council", said Ng Sang, a social activist.
In the 2015 ADC election, Seilenmang Khongsai was elected from 01 - Khousabung, the lone BJP candidate to win election in Churachandpur ADC.
Drawing the attention of the BJP Government, the public resolution calls for immediate creation of Khousabung Sub - Division to accelerate fast pace of progress and development in the region.
The Mass Candle Light Vigil was participated by Seilenmang Khongsai, Member, ADC / Ccpur, village chiefs, public and women folks of Khousabung Region.
