Imphal, November 11 2015:
Villagers of Chadong have strongly negated the information of the State Govt which reportedly claimed that no more people settle in Chadong village.
In a statement, Chadong Village Authority said that above 450 villagers of not less than 100 households are still living in the village.
The case of wrong information was confirmed by the Addl Director, Education (S) himself when he visited Chadong village on Nov 9 .
He personally witnessed that many villagers are still residing in their own capacity resisting the Govt's plan to shift them forcibly, it said.
The VA said that all those Chadong villagers who still settle there refused to receive the imposed Relief and Rehabilitation package arranged by the State Govt in an alleged arbitrary way in collusion with some vested persons.
It is a fact that those who opted to stay in the village are real land owners who have not taken the final payment of land compensation.
