Imphal, March 22 2013:
The Zeliangrong Students' Union, Manipur (ZSUM) has strongly deplored and opposed the setting up of Imphal East/Jiribam Police outpost at Tatbung village in Tousem Subdivision of Tamenglong district.
Pointing out that Imphal East and Tamenglong districts are in two different administrative jurisdictions, a ZSUM statement signed by its chairman, D Stephen Zeme affirmed that the students' body would not remain silent on the matter which apparently is an attempt to slice Tatbung village and other adjacent villages from Tamenglong district.
The Government of Manipur should pay serious attention and take immediate corrective measures to avoid public outrage which can result in spilling unwanted consequences, the ZSUM urged.
It also demanded that the concerned authority to officially make the Tatbung-Muktokhal police outpost as part of Tousem subdivision in all documents including signboards.
Further, expressing concern over the continuing encroachment by outsiders of different administrative jurisdiction at Khedagara-Khasipunji-Kamranga of Tousem subdivision, the Zeliangrong student body also urged the 'outsiders' to immediately stop their activities including felling down trees, plantation etc, or face the wrath of the union.
