Imphal, August 09 2011:
The Chandel Naga People's Organisation (CNPO) has refuted the allegation of Chief of Chandel District Chiefs' Association Holkhokhai as reported in this paper on August 5 that people were not allowed to buy any strip of land or open business at Chandel district headquarters as baseless.
A press release issued by CNPO asserted that there is no such organisation called Chandel District Chiefs' Association in Chandel.
Maintaining that all the communities live side by side practising different trades and professions, CNPO remarked that Holkhokhai's propaganda was to misguide the State Government to suit his agenda for conversion of Tengnoupal sub-division into a full fledged district.
