Imphal, August 17 2015:
The Mapithel Dam Affected Villages' Organisation (MDAVO) has strongly condemned the alleged high handedness of Dimpu Kamei, ADC, Ukhrul, who threatened to construct a link road connec-ting Ramrei to Ramrei Aze by deploying security forces from Aug ust18 without respecting the decision of the MDAVO which had resolved to construct the said road with local contri-bution.
MDAVO in its meeting held on June 30 at Chadong and July 11 at Ramrei village decided that the link road of Ramrei and Ramrei Aze should be constructed through local contributions, without involving the State.
The area where the link road is to be constructed is under the ownership of Z Shimdhar, headman of Ramrei village, said a statement.
Shimdhar, as a member of MDAVO, strongly opposed the Govt's plan to construct the road.
MDAVO members and Z Shimdhar had clarified to the SDPO, Phungyar Subdivision Angam Ningshen when he visited Ramrei village recently that Govt intervention at this situation is not welcomed by the affected villages.
However, Dimpu Kamei, ADC, Ukhrul came to the village today and threatened Z Shimdhar, Headman, Ramrei village saying that extra security forces will be deployed to facilitate construction of the link road from August 18 .
Condemning the alleged high handedness of the ADC, MDAVO has warned that he should be held responsible for any untoward incident arising out of the situation.
