Imphal, March 16 2015:
Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam has assured that relevant officials would be sent to verify the reports that Southern Angami people of Nagaland have encroached into the territory of Manipur and even constructed roads at Kojirii and Dzuko area of Manipur.
Responding to a call attention raised by MLA Dikho about encroachment by Southern Angami people at Dzuko and Kojirii areas, Gaikhangam remarked that the report about encroachment by people of Nagaland was not the first one.
A team of State officials led by an SDO and an SDPO went to the said areas recently.
Another team would be sent soon to verify the report that people of Nagaland have not only encroached 10 Kms within the territory of Manipur but also constructed a road.
A written intimation would also be sent to the Chief Minister of Nagaland about the matter, Gaikhangam stated.
Encroachment by Southern Angami people from two sides and construction of road have bred serious grievances amongst the local populace, Dikho said.
He also suggested the House to depute a Ministerial team for spot verification.
