Kangpokpi, November 18 2022:
Kuki Women Union, Saikul in its joint meeting with the area women's organisation leaders dismissed the allegations levelled by Pukhao villagers over an alleged attempt to include or convert land belonging to Imphal East under Kangpokpi district.
Speaking to the media, KWU Saikul president Neinu termed as baseless accusations by Village Development Committee Pukhao Naharup and other Pukhao bodies that process is on to include or convert land belonging to Imphal East under Kangpokpi district.
Stating that such allegations smack of an attempt to create misunderstand ing among different communities, she pointed out that there is a clear existing boundary of Kangpokpi district and there is no new map where land belonging to Imphal East or others is included or converted under the Kangpokpi district.
The allegation of Pukhao bodies was not only baseless but a sinister design to create enmity and misunderstanding among the diverse communities living peacefully in the area, she alleged.
The president also said that Saikul is like a mini-India where diverse communities live peacefully in all aspects and there has never been any harassment, discrimination or ill-treatment to any communities be it in the business sector or any others.
The KWU Saikul appealed to the Pukhao bodies not to disrupt the peaceful environment with such unfounded allegations in the future and instead to encourage strengthening cordial relationship among various communities living together peacefully in the area.
