Imphal, November 15 2014 :
Reacting to the statement of Committee of East Zone Area which appeared in this paper in the Nov 15 edition, the Zingso Mapithel Long, Litan, Ukhrul district has today denied the existence of the committee.
In a statement, Themreingam A Shimray, chairman of ZML said that ZML is the only organisation of seven villages along the eastern fringe of Mapithel hill range.
ZML can accommodate any positive suggestion from the public with regard to the implementation of developmental works in the area as per Govt guidelines, however using fictitious name such as CEZA, Phungyar Block is seriously viewed by the organisation, it said while strongly urging all concerned to refrain from such unwanted activities in the interest of all.
The ZML is equally concerned about the successful execution of the proposed black-topping works to be implemented under PMGSY from Labui to T Hundung and had accordingly constituted a monitoring committee in consultation with the village authorities of seven villages in early 2014 .
Urging all concerned to not mislead the public by using anonymous identity through the press, it sought the support and cooperation of all concerned rather than interfering in the matter without basis and foundation.
The statement further clarified that earth cutting works under PMGSY were executed by different contractors in the late 90s and hence any acts of omission or commission committed by the preceding contractors are not related to the present work programme of black-topping whatsoever.
Any diversion from the rule and guidelines should be dealt with in accordance with the power authorised to the monitoring committee constituted by ZML, it added.
