Imphal, September 18 2022:
Residents of Ichum Keirap village have demanded a clarification from members of Ichum Keirap village authority regarding a petition submitted to the Chief Minister, Governor and other relevant authority.
It may be noted that the petition called for the expulsion of certain families of Ichum Keirap to another village.
Speaking to media persons in this regard, T Songkholet, an elder of the village said that the petition had urged for 43/44 families who had settled in the village to return to their former villages.
Aside from this, he accused the newly appointed village authority members of putting a ban on these families from carrying out their day-to-day activities to earn a livelihood such as farming and collecting firewood.
As such, he reiterated the demand for a clarification from the concerned village authority members at the earliest.
