Tamenglong, August 12, 2013:
The Zeliangrong Baudi, Tousem zone on Monday asserted that not an inch of Tousem Sub-Division of Tamenglong should include in the upgradation of Jiribam sub-division into a full-fledged district.
In a statement, Namteulian, Chairman of ZB Tousem Zone strongly reacted to the assurance given by Chief Minister Ibobi Singh to Jiribam District Demand Committee (JDDC) that the State Cabinet would soon take a decision on making the Barak circle a separate sub-division.
"Bifurcating of Tamenglong district to create new districts will be opposed tooth and nail, we will not tolerate any such activity", the statement said.
The statement further asserted that Manipur Land Revenue and Land Reform Act, 1960 does not extend to Tousem Sub-Division of Tamenglong District.
So, not an inch of Tousem Sub-Division should be included in the formation of Barak Circle Sub-Division.
ZB Tamei Zone also said that the slogan 'chingtam amatani' made by Meiteis is to start creating conflict among the brethren along with the move of parting parts of Tousem Sub-Division into the creation of so called Barak Circle Sub-Division.
