The Khousabung Area People's Alliance (KAPA) and Khousabung Sub-Division Demand Committee (KSDDC) resolved to jointly pursue sub-division demand for Khousabung in a joint meeting held today at Khousabung Inpi, Churachandpur.
The joint meeting or "People's Conclave" attended by a large number of the people of the area condemned the "Cabinet Decision" adopted on February 10, 2016 to shift the proposed "Khousabung sub-division" to Kangvai sub-division, said a joint statement released by KAPA and KSDDC.
The Cabinet Decision taken under the Chairmanship of the then Chief Minister Okram Ibobi with the ill advise of the then Congress MLA T Manga Vaiphei was not only unconstitutional but also a demonstration of parochial and divisive agenda, the statement said.
Maintaining that the proposed sub-division is the aspiration of the people of Khousabung area for over two/three decades, the bodies also affirmed to urge Chief Minister N Biren to expedite the process for creation of Khousabung sub-division and inaugurate it (sub-division) before the General Assembly Election 2022 .
The meeting also unanimously resolved to urge all political parties and all intending candidates of 57-Henglep AC to make their stand clear on the proposed Khousabung sub-division at the earliest, the statement said.
The meeting further resolved to observe February 10, 2022 as "Khousabung Black Day" in pursuit of justice for Khousabung sub-division, it continued.
