Imphal, April 09 2013:
Strongly condemning the reported 'irresponsible statement' of an official of the Development of Tribal and SC dept who hinted at the possibility of handing the charge of maintenance of the Tribal Market to the Municipality, the Tribal Market Managing Committee, New Lambulane has urged the authority concerned to roll back its proposal in the interest of the tribal communities.
The Tribal Market Managing Committee, New Lambulane was reacting to the statement of an official of the Development of Tribal and SC dept who confided to The Sangai Express that the market is likely to be handed over to the Municipality.
The Govt official had said that 'the Govt would be pursued to explore the possibility of handing over the charge of maintenance of Tribal Market at New Lambulane to the Municipality in the absence of official to look after it in the concerned dept' .

The executive meeting of the TMMC, New Lambulane was held on April 6 wherein the official statement was strongly condemned, informed a statement.
"In fact, the tribal community has the sole right to look after the affairs of market management.
Stressed on this fact, the Govt had already instituted a management committee, Tribal Market Managing Committee, New Lambulane back in 2000s as per Govt order," pointed out a statement issued by the Committee.
