CCpur, February 27 2023:
While condemning alleged wrongful indication of the address of K Songjang village in the government documents, Kuki Students' Organisation (KSO), Churachandpur has appealed to the government and its authorities concerned to stop creating unnecessary confusion among the people.
In a statement of KSO Churachandpur expressed dissent over gross incorrect information disseminated regarding the location of K Songjang village, Henglep sub-division, Churachandpur district.
Dismayed over the intentional wrongful indication of the village address, the KSO said that K Songjang village is a hamlet of Kungpinaosen village, which originally falls under Henglep sub-division of Churachandpur district.
It also said that all the supporting documents regarding the jurisdictional area of the village which falls under Churachandpur district can be obtained from the village chief concerned and the district administration of Churachandpur.
The KSO statement further said the Secretariat (Hills Department) vide Order No 9/1/2005 CHA accorded approval to recognition of K Songjang village, Henglep sub-division, Churachandpur district as a full-fledged hill house tax-paying village.
The Hill house Tax was paid at the office of SDO Henglep, Churachandpur until the establishment of SDO Kangvai in 2016 .
However, with a malafide intention to create confusion among the public, the district magistrate of Kangpokpi imposed Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) on February 22, 2023 .
The order wrongfully indicated K Songjang village as under Bungte Chiru sub-division within the revenue district of Kangpokpi, which itself is an interference of executive power beyond jurisdictional area, it added.
