Ukhrul, November 11 2016:
MDAVO has asserted that the constitution of unauthorized new committees like Mapithel Dam Affected Coordination Committee (MDACC) who claims to be the apex body of 21 affected villages, is nothing but a design to pocket more compensation from the State Government.
MDAVO, in statement here said MDACC is a committee constituted by two committees � Mapithel Dam Multipurpose Project Displaced Villages Committee (MDMPDVC) of upstream and Mapithel Dam Affected Ching-Tam Organization (MDACTO) of down stream, which do not have a public mandate.
The MDMPDVC is concerned only with some sections of Chadong and Lamlai Khunou and MDACTO is a platform of leaders who have been rejected by the people living in the downstream for the fact that they compromised their rights and interest of the people for their personal gain.
MDAVO condemns the re-appearance of such opportunists, it said while asserting that MDAVO is the sole legitimate apex organization.
