Imphal, November 28 2022:
Ngangbam Sagei Development Working Committee has contended that despite the restriction imposed on issuance of new land patta (document), some people were found possessing land patta after encroaching on the shrine area of Khuman Pokpa Lai located at Koirengei Nilakuthi, which is being looked after by Ngangbam Sagei, and even began developmental works by cutting the trees in the shrine's complex.
Speaking to media persons at the shrine on Monday, Committee vice president Ngangbam Brajakumar urged authorities concerned to look into the development works being taken up in the area by some people who seem to have acquired the land patta due to nexus with department concerned.
Recalling the statement of the chief minister regarding issuance of patta in religious places, he demanded to hand over the land to the committee which is looking after the shrine.
Intense protest will be launched if the area is allot ted to private individuals, he cautioned, while demanding to take action against officials and those involved in secretly allotting patta in the area.
