Imphal, March 19 2018:
Abungchiang (Nagaching)-1 Pei, Haochong Sub-Division in Noney district has rejected the claim for permanent chairmanship of the village by one Dithonliu Kamei w/o Titus Riamei of Gaidimjang village, Khoupum Sub-Division for certain reasons.
According to a press release issued by the village authority, there has never been mention of Khunbu as the chairman of the village.
In all the office records starting from 1942 till 2003, the hill house taxes were paid by various persons who had been appointed as the chairman of the village from time to time.
It is very clear from the past history that all the previous chairmen were appointed on the basis of majority decision and not because they were Khunbu or Khullakpa, it mentioned.
The power of attorney as produced by Dithonliu whereby Ramdi had handed over the khunbuship cannot be accepted, it stated.
