Imphal, November 20 2014:
All Tribal Women Organization (ATWO), Chandel has pledged support to the agitation spearheaded by Thadou Student's Association (TSA) against acquisition of 3000 acres of land for setting up a smart city near Moreh.
In a statement, ATWO Chandel said that no development would be brought by merely setting up a smart city.
It would rather give more misery to the tribal people as the Government's move would render many of them homeless in their own land.
As such, the Government must chalk out a plan to develop the existing villages and transform them into 'smart villages', added the statement.
The women's organisation maintained that they would extend full support to TSA in their future course of agitations to protect the tribal land.
