Jiribam, March 27 2023:
A five-member team of the World Meetei Council (WMC), Assam State unit held a meeting with Election Commission member Arun Goel at Guwahati today and submitted a memorandum.
The WMC team headed by its Assam unit president Yumnam Nabakishore pointed out that the Meiteis in Assam were rendered politically fragmented and voiceless after their contiguous villages were bifurcated erroneously in the last delimitation process which was held in 1976 .
The WMC team urged the Election Commissioner to merge the contiguous Meitei villages to Lakhipur Constituency (LA-13) where the bulk of Meitei population in Assam is concen- trated.
The WMC team also submitted a memorandum to the Election Commissioner during the meeting which was held at Hotel Radisson Blu, Guwahati.
Arun Goel assured that the concerns of WMC Assam State unit would be reviewed and he may communicate with them, if necessary, on the matter.
