Imphal, June 07, 2013:
The Zeliangrong Union (Tamei Zone) and Liangmei Naga Arts and Culture Association, Tamei today said that award of RGGLV dealership for Tamei to Caleb I Panmei was legitimate.
A joint statement issued by ZU (Tamei Zone) and LNACA, Tamei said that Caleb I Panmei was selected for RGGLV dealership for Tamei as per draw of lots conducted at Hotel Classic on Aug 10, 2011 in the presence of five MLAs and other dignitaries including N Awangbou, the then MLA of Tamei AC.
Refuting the charges levelled against Caleb, the joint statement signed by secretary of ZU (Tamei), Changchapbou and president of LNACA, Thiusongbou said he is in possession of plots and other land at Tamei headquarters while also adding that the resident/land possession certificate issued by the SDO in 2010 and 2012 was genuine.
It further said that another contender of the dealership from Takou and residing at Kanglatongbi has been raising heckle by using the name of Tamei YC, Tamei Women Front, etc as she was not selected for the dealership.
The Liangmai bodies further urged all concerned organisations to refrain from issuing baseless statement/allegation at the behest of the rejected candidate.
