Imphal, April 25 2020:
The JAC formed against the eviction of Macheng Village , Lamlongei, Mantripukhi has condemned the alleged violation of human rights by the State Government while carrying out eviction drive on Friday at Macheng Village.
In a statement, the JAC claimed that the DFO served an eviction notice on April 21 last for two households and another on April 23 for one house and the three houses were removed/evicted on the following day amid the COVID lockdown.
The JAC also refuted the claim that the dwelling houses evicted were constructed during COVID lockdown, questioning how can anyone find materials during the lockdown.
It then requests all to extend support and pressurize the law enforcing agencies to do justice and redress the grievances of the 'victimised Macheng villagers' whose houses were demolished.
