Imphal, August 12, 2013:
Reacting to a leader of NSCN (IM) who had opposed creation of Jiribam district by merging some areas of Tamenglong district, the Jiribam District Demand Committee (JDDC) has clarified that the creation of Jiribam district would not affect even an inch of land of other districts.
Talking to Hueiyen Lanpao, Convenor of JDDC Mutum Maipaksana said that the Committee seriously discussed the strong reaction of the NSCN (IM) leader.
The demand of JDDC is just the upgradation of Jiribam sub-division of Imphal East into a full-fledged district.
There is no question of expansion of Jiribam by merging certain areas of other districts, he averred.
