ZSUM and ZSUTA expressed their voices with regard to the proposed creation of Jiribam Sub-Division into full-fledged revenue district demanded by the Jiribam District Demand Committee and stated that the Zeliangrong students bodies do not oppose to the move to create Jiribam into a revenue district but if parts of the Tamenglong district are sliced off in the process then it would create room for misunderstanding among the people of Jiribam and Tamenglong district.
