Imphal, January 08 2013:
Giving an ultimatum to the State Government, Tongjeimarin District Demand Committee (TDDC) submitted a reminder to Chief Minister for creation of a separate district for western parts of the state on or before 31st January 2013 .
The demand for creation and grant of Tongjeimarin in the western part of Manipur as a separate district has been a long-standing issue for the state.
TDCC submitted its first memorandum to create a separate district in 1998 during the regime of (L) W Nipamacha.
However, it yielded no result due to political instability, read the memorandum signed by TDCC's Chairman, Abon Kamei.
Urging the state government to do justice once and for all, Abon Kamei also warned of launching various intense democratic forms of agitations in case the state government fails to respond to their demand on or before 31st January 2013 positively.
