Imphal, June 29 2011:
Kongpe Village Authority has demanded for immediate removal of 3rd IRB posted at Saivom.
In a complaint representation submitted to the Deputy Commissioner, Chandel, the village authority charged the IRB personnel of harassing people.
The complaint said that the security personnel caned and opened fire when people protested against asking for unwanted tax from one Jv Nori Lamkang yesterday.
The woman is a firewood seller and was transporting firewoods in a 407 Canter.
The IRB personnel asked for tax which Nori Lamkang denied as IRB is the not right authority to collect taxes.
The VA demanded the DC to book the involved personnel immediately and produce before the village authority for justice as per Tribal Customary Laws.
