Chandel, August 22 2013:
All Tribal Chiefs and People Grievances Forum (ATC&PGF), Chandel District has outrightly rejected the order of Thoubal DC/Collector vide order No.27/42/LA/DC (TBL)/2011/660, dated Thoubal the 20th July 2013, which allegedly claimed village No.91-Sugnu and 93- Toupokpi to be within Thoubal district.
According to a statement issued by its President Sng Lumdil, ATC & PGF said that the decision to reject the said order was adopted following a meeting held on August 20 at Gunpi Area Chiefs' Association Hall.
The meeting was attended by 206 members including chiefs, ADC members and Social workers of the district.
The members present in the meeting charged DC/Collector, Land Acquisition, Thoubal district with sending out intimation to the complainants and declared the said order void and baseless.
While welcoming the proposed construction of the road, ATC&PGF, however, vehemently opposed the said order and made it clear that it would not surrender even an inch of its land to Thoubal district.
