Kangpokpi, April 05 2023:
Konsakhul (Konsaram) Village Authority has refuted the allegation made by T Achung of Kharam Thadoi on April 4, 2023 and advised all to not succumb to the propaganda of "others" .
A release signed by D Adam Liangmai, chairman Konsakhul Village Authority, claimed that Kharam Kom Naga village (presently Kharam Thadoi) located near National Sport University (NSU) was founded by Manaipu Krong, a Naga by blood who had descended from Konsaram village.
It stated that the ancestral boundary of Konsaram lies between Khunkhu (Ariang) Naga in the north, Ireng (Puilong) Naga in the south, Khurkhul-Chirang in the east and Samuk (Tucha) in the west.
"On humanitarian grounds, Manaipu Krong allowed a few Vaiphei nomads to settle in his khuman (Kharam Kom Naga village) .
The village later came to be known as Kharam Vaiphei.
In due course of time, Manaipu Krong migrated towards the plain areas in search of a better future and after successive shifting he founded the new Kharam Kom Naga village", it claimed.
Claiming the Kharam Kom Naga is one of the oldest indigenous inhabitants of Manipur, the VA mentioned that all these historical facts are documented by the president Manipur State Darbar (PMSD) and Magisterial Court Orders issued by Christopher Gimson, Crawford, and SJ Duncan.
The VA also alleged that disturbance to the age-old peaceful coexistence and all the problems started with the arrival of some groups of people in the region.
"Later on these people imposed their hegemony and tried to control the culture, custom, tradition and identity of the innocent indigenous Kharam Kom Naga", it alleged.
The VA alleged that infighting for chieftainship of Kharam Kom Naga village was engineered by some people with the aim to destroy the culture & identity of the village.
The VA also mentioned that being brothers by blood it will not remain a mute spectator to what is happening in Kharam Kom Naga village.
"If these antisocial elements do not mend their ways, we will initiate necessary actions against the perpetrators responsible for disturbing the peaceful atmosphere in the region", it cautioned.
