Imphal, August 22 2015 :
The headmen/chairmen of Mapithel dam affected villages�Chadong, Ramrei, Riha and Thoyee, negated the statement of P Mahangmi demanding the State Govt for implementation of developmental works in the name of the affected area.
The statement of Mahangmi is contrary to the decision and stand of the affected villages adopted repeatedly in the meetings of MDAVO, said a joint statement of the village headmen.
The statement was even against the official notice served to him by MDAVO on Aug 19 asking him to stop pressurizing the IFCD to construct the link road and to stop the plan to set up military camp to facilitate the said road construction.
Z Shimdhar, headman of Ramrei accused P Mahangmi of using the title of chieftainship and affected villager in demanding development works for his own interest.
He further clarified that, P Mahangmi is a mere chairman of Lamlai Khunou, a leikai of Ramrei who settled under his patta.
Mahangmi has no right and reason to claim any development from the State Govt now because the very compound allotted to him has been sold without the chief's consent.
