Imphal, March 28 2018:
Locals of Kongpal Khaidem Leikai, Kongpal Naorembam Leikai, Kongpal Chanam Leikai and Kongpal Kshetri Leikai of Kshetrigao AC today continue to stage protest against the construction of community hall at Kongpal Students' Club (KSC) ground by MLA S Susildro @ Yaima, Khurai AC under the MLA local area development fund.
A confrontation between the protestors and MLA took place when MLA Susildro tried to overpower Kh Shyamkishor, Vice-President of KSC who was also present during the protest but it was taken control by the police who were already stationed at the protest site from further confrontation.
Speaking to Imphal Times, one of the protestor said that KSC was from by five local body namely Kongpal Khaidem Leikai, Kongpal Naorembam Leikai, Kongpal Chanam Leikai, Kongpal Kshetri Leikai and Khurai Kongkham Leikai and they have been living peacefully but recently MLA is trying to create misunderstanding among the locals by constructing the community hall forcefully without the consent of four local body falling in the Kshetrigao AC which is unacceptable.
If the MLA is concerned about the welfare of the people of the state he could have construct the community hall at the very place where his father had laid the foundation with the consent of the five local body of KSC, the protestor added.
Meanwhile, MLA Susildro speaking to media persons alleged that President of KSC is a hardcore worker of Congress Party and it will not be wrong to say that there is an intervention from Congress party which has led to heated discussion between locals of Khurai and Kshetrigao AC over the construction of the community hall at KSC ground.
Clubs are form for the welfare of its people of the area whereas a club obstructing carrying out works which is for the welfare of the people instead of encouraging cannot be called as a club.
Being an MLA, bringing positive solution at any situation is their duty but in this case it's about the local body of the KSC which should be sort out among them, Susildro asserts.
Susildro also said that among the five local body of KSC, one is of Khurai AC and the KSC ground also falls under Khurai AC.
Club organization should encourage the development works being carried out in the Khurai AC but here an opposite political minded intervention can be seen which is disheartening, he added.
Susildro further said that KSC ground is for the public not only for Khurai or Kshetrigao AC, anyone can come and play, no one can come and interfere for their own interest whereas the jurisdiction of the area should define by themselves instead of dragging in politics.
Mention may be made that an order notice was issued on March 15 by Court of Civil Judge Senior Division, Imphal East that the community hall construction work carrying out at KSC ground by MLA Susildro, Khurai AC under the local area development fund should be stopped until further notice and even Section-144 of IPC have also been imposed but despite that the construction work is still going on under the care of the MLA himself posting security personnel.
