Imphal, January 21 2013:
The Molnoi Area Kuki Chiefs' Welfare Committee; Kuki Women's Human Rights, Molnoi (Pallel) area and Thadou Students' Association Chandel district have registered opposition to any move for shifting of Molnoi FCI Godown, Chandel district.
In a statement, the Kuki bodies said the site selection for construction of FCI Godown for Chandel district at Molnoi village was done on October 10, 2010 by the then CAF&PD Minister Y Erabot and then local MLA Thangkholun Haokip along with P Vaiphei, Commissioner of CAF&PF and Chandel DC.
The dept had finalised the required procedure for the FCI godown and forwarded the whole procedure to the FCI Dept, Govt of India.
At the same time, the Kuki bodies have also urged the concerned authority to facilitate early payment of land compensation to the owner of the land where the construction of the FCI godown is proposed.
Maintaining that Molnoi is a suitable location for the construction and setting up of an FCI godown for Chandel district, the Kuki bodies' statement warned of launching several forms of agitation in case any change is made regarding the location of the site.
