Tamenglong, March 30 2010:
Frontal organisations of the Zeliangrong tribe have demanded that necessary actions be initiated for paying compensation to vehicle owners who suffered damage during the course of the agitation in Jiribam sub-division recently, reports our Tamenglong correspondent.
A joint statement of Zeliangrong Youth Front, Zeliangrong Students' Union (Tousem), VACC (Tamenglong), ZYF (Tamenglong Zone), etc said representation has been submitted to the Jiri Meira Paibi apunba Lup for prompt action with the charges that meira paibis were responsible for damaging two Tata Sumo passenger carriers plying between Tamenglong and Jiribam.
The bodies accused meira paibis of resorting to violent acts at the residence of chief of Phaitol village inspite of the vehicle operators honouring instructions of the meira paibis against plying the vehicles during the agitation period.
