Moreh, January 18 2022:
Chief of Yangoutbubi village in Tengnoupal AC has ridiculed the claim made by Maring Students' Union (MSU) that there is no village called 'Yangoutubi' in Tengnoupal AC.
The statement was made by chief Mangkhopao Haokip at a press conference held today and added that the village has been around since 1960s as a part of Kwatha village and it was given separate recognition by the then DC of Chandel HV Lalringba on August 18, 1978 .
Former MLA Jainson Haokip had also constructed a Government aided LP school in the village, he added.
Various other projects including construction of community hall and Anganwadi centre have been accomplished in the village.
How can a student body claimed that a village where Governmental development work have been taken up say the village doesn't exist.
