Kuki Students' Organization, Sadar Hills has strongly opposed the plan of setting up Sports University at Haraothel village land.
Reacting to the recent inspection of the village land by state government for the proposed sports university, KSO Sadar Hills President Thangminlen Kipgen urged the state government to avoid another round of inspection at Haraothel land for the Sports University.
He said that the inspection of 250 acres of land on August 1 came to the knowledge of KSO Sadar Hills after intimation from the Haraothel villagers.
Amidst the disquiet over Haolenphai issue, the state Govt.is trying to generate a similar issue at Haraothel in the name of development, alleged Thangminlen while adding that Myanmar Govt.took only 300 acres of land for Smart City but the Manipur Govt.plans to acquire 3000 acres of Haolenphai land.
Accusing the state Govt.with having a hidden agenda in these issues, the student body chief wondered why the state govt.intentionally send its Ministers and officials for inspection of land for Sports University for Imphal West district at Haraothel, which actually comes under the jurisdiction Sadar Hills and why the inspection was not done with the knowledge of the Haraothel villagers.
