Imphal, October 19 2012:
Registering strong objection to the proposed construction of dam across Chakpi river in Chandel district, the general secretary of Chandel Naga Peoples' Organisation (CNPO) stated that the Government should have consulted the people before taking up such projects.
In a statement, the CNPO general secretary pointed out that the Government should respect the wish and desires of the people in order to bring in peace, tranquillity, stability, progress, and development.
The seemingly imposition attitude of the Government is perceived as a threat to the minority and discrimination, it said.
It further reaffirmed that the CNPO would never compromise to the construction of multipurpose project dam at Chakpi River in Chandel district while urging the Govt to withdraw the proposal.
