Imphal, August 28 2015 :
Mapithel Dam Affected Villagers Organisation (MDAVO) said that representatives of all the villages of Mapithel dam area had witnessed that Ramrei Aze (Lamlai Khunou) headman P Mahangmi had already surrendered before Z Shimdhar by submitting all the documents he had in 2002 in the presence of the headman of neighbouring villages and Government officials.
Since then, as per the official recognition of MDAVO, P Mahangmi has no authority to claim as a headman because everything has now come under the administrative power of Z Shimdhar, MDAVO said in a statement.
The village representatives of Mapithel dam area had witnessed all the genuine documents about the claim made by P Mahangmi regarding the establishment of Lamlai Khunou in 1952, amalgamation of Lamlai Khullen and Khunou becoming one entity as Ramrei village.
And hence, all the claims made by him are false and concocted facts done with a malicious intention to fulfil his interest and accomplish the plan of the State Government in the name of RR implementation due to Mapithel dam construction, the statement said.
The segregation order of the Principal Secretary, TA and Hills dated 30th Nov 2013 that divided Ramrei into the old status - Lamlai Khullen and Khunou was not carried out through rightful channel and hence a case is pending in the High Court of Manipur.
MDAVO said that the construction of link road connecting Ramrei and Ramrei Aze is in progress with the funds from local contribution.
