Imphal, August 27 2015:
MLA Dr I Ibohalbi today laid the foundation stone of a Scheduled Caste girls' hostel at Leimaram within his Oinam Assembly segment in Bishnupur district.
Speaking at the gathering, the MLA maintained that the peace accord signed on August 3 was not between Government of India and Naga people rather it was between Government of India and NSCN-IM.
The accord under any circumstances should infringe upon the territorial and administrative integrity of Manipur, he asserted.
VIth Schedule of the Indian Constitution is another matter but any challenge to the territorial integrity of Manipur would be met with the stiffest challenge and this must not be overlooked by the Government of India.
The girls hostel would be constructed near Leimaram High School by MOBEDS as work agency with Rs 1.17 crore sanctioned by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India.
The hostel which would have 100 beds would be equipped with underground water reservoir.
Leimaram High School Headmaster, teachers and local villagers were present at the foundation stone laying function.
