Thoubal, December 03 2014 :
Referring to the Government's plan to develop a Smart City at Haolenphai near Moreh and subsequent voices of dissent and opposition raised from different quarters, the Mangkang village has claimed that the area proposed for the smart city falls within the boundary of Mangkang village.
Various groups claiming and counter-claiming to be owners of the village taking undue advantages of the sparse population which is largely due to migration of villagers to other places following ethnic clashes are hollow, said Mangkang village.
A press release issued by the Mangkang chief appealed to all groups to be well versed with the origin and position of Mangkang whenever any public statement has to be made.
He further appealed to the Government that if any such acquisition of land is required, proper procedure and notification be made to the Mangkang village as the particular area falls within the boundary of Mangkang village.
