Imphal, February 26 2016 :
Expressing deep concern over
the alleged biased decision
taken by the State Cabinet
regarding the renaming of
Thangting SDO/BDO as
'Kangvai SDO/BDO in utter
suppression and subjugation of
people's democratic voice and
the subsequent protest
launched by the Khousabung
sub-division Demand
Committee (KSDDC), ADC
Member of Khousabung DCC,
Seilenmang Khongsai urged
the State Govt to reconsider its
decision in the interest of the
public.
In a statement, the BJP
ADC Member said that he is
fully aware of the wishes of
the people of the area who
want the sub-division be re-
named as 'Khousabung
SDO/BDO' and its head-
quarters located at
Khousabung village.
In fact, Khousabung lies at
the Centre of the new SDO/
BDO circle and is the choice
of over 100 chiefs of villages
covered by the subdivision,
he said.
In order to deliver justice
and fulfil the common aspira-
tion of the people concerned
and to facilitate the return of
normalcy in the area, the
ADC Member strongly urged
the State Government to re-
consider its decision in public
interest and change the no-
menclature of the new
sub-division to 'Khousabung
SDO/BDO' without any fur-
ther delay.
Meanwhile, the protest
spearheaded by KSDDC de-
manding review of the
Cabinet decision of Feb 10
has continued unabated.
A sit-in cum candlelight
vigil was staged at
Khousabung market shed,
Churachandpur district to-
night where protesters from
different communities of the
area took part.
