Moreh, November 02 2020:
Members of Moreh ICP Bypass Road Structure & Land Committee stopped Government officials headed by Tengnoupal DC M Rajkumar and SP Th Vikramjit who came to evict structures near the bypass road by blocking the road, this evening.
A minor scuffle also broke out between the security team which escorted the officials and the protesters before the two parties opted for a talk.
However, as the talks resolved nothing, the protesters intensified their protest.
Speaking to media persons, Chairman of the committee, Holpao Baite expressed disappointment at the officials concerned for attempting to 'carry out the eviction drive forcefully' when not all the affected landowners are compensated accordingly.
He also asserted that the protest will continue until their demand is entertained.
The protesters shouted slogans demanding replacement of the Tengnoupal DC .
