Imphal, August 29 2020:
The Macheng village authority has denied the charges and allegation made against them by one Soyapam Vashi and Yenning Animal Foundation (YAF) of shooting a dog.
A press release issued by the village authority claimed that YAF wrongfully posted comments in social media, alleging that a dog belonging to Soyapham was shot by the villagers of Macheng Village.
Further claiming that a mutual agreement was reached between Soyapam and the village authority, wherein the former clarified that the news items published by YAF regarding the dog shooting incident are false, it claimed that Soyapam had apologised to them for violating their direction and agreed to abide by the customary law of the village.
In utter violation of the agreement, Soyapam Vashi in connivance with YAF published articles again that the dog was shot by the Macheng village chief.
The allegations are false and baseless and are done to tarnish the image of the Macheng village, the statement added.
