Tamenglong, August 30 2015 :
In connection with the prohibited land area in Taosang village which is reserved for development of a model village, the village chairman has today appealed to the individual(s) with vested interest not to interfere in the matter.
The statement lauded the OC, Khoupum and media persons for visiting Pumunjang Taosang Khunou Leimatak and inspecting the land encroachment area.
However, neither the villagers nor the village Khunbu were given the chance to address the villagers' grievances during the visit, the statement stated.
In regard to the recent statement of one Lanaimei which accused Tamjanglung and Gaiganglung of dismantling 13 houses in the village, the statement said that Lanaimei's statement was baseless and fabricated.
The duo were not involved in the incident, the chairman clarified.
Stating that the prohibited land area has been set aside for the purpose of setting up a model village, the statement further said that the village will welcome any developmental initiative.
