Imphal, May 03 2015 :
Thadou Students' Association (TSA) while condemning Chief Minister O Ibobi's statement on March 12 regarding border trade has reaffirmed its stance against the State's design to acquire tribal land at Haolenphai, Chandel today.
Previously, the CM had announced plans to establish a new township at Moreh for which about 3000 acres of land were earmarked from Haolenphai.
TSA, in a statement issued by its general secretary strongly condemned the project stating that the effected tribal community will not accept any form of development at the cost of their land, culture, identity and livelihood.
The statement added that the State Government, instead of grabbing land from the people should strive towards closing the gap between the Government and the people which would at length strengthen the integrity of
the State.
