He then urged all those concerned to wrap up the issue at the earliest and instead focus on the people and their welfare.
Replying to a query, Leishemba Sanajaoba said that he has even thought of approaching the Governor to put an end to the issue if it keeps dragging on.
In the hospital, the titular king met Khamrang Ngasailei (64) chairperson of Tangkhul Ahungva Saklong of Tora village, Ukhrul district and also spoke with her on various other issues.
Sanajaoba said that Ngasailei is a leader of the Female Village Chiefs Association and Tangkhul Ahungva Saklong has been working tirelessly for the welfare of the people similar to other associations.
He continued that it is time for the hill and valley people to unite for a stronger State and explained that he came to visit the sick village chief as a goodwill gesture of the bond between the hill and valley brothers and sisters.
