In a press meet held today at Manipur Press Club, president of Kakching District Headquarters Demand Committee, Wabagai, M Lalit Singh said that the demand to locate the headquarters of Kakching district at Waikhong Thongjao has been made to fulfil the purpose of administrative convenience to all residing in the newly created Kakching district.
This is the wish and aspiration of the people of the district .
He further said Waikhong Thongjao is centrally located.
There are enough land for the purpose and the place is best suited for developing as a district headquarters .
