The Joint Peace Committee (JPC) Against the Atrocities by Terrorists at Heirok Part-II Chingol Melei Lampak has asserted that Heirok Part-II Chingol Melei Lampak belongs to Thoubal district as per records available at Settlement Department.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club here today, JPC convenor Mandir Laishram said that a public meeting was held subsequent upon brutal assault on innocent villagers by a combined team comprising of militants and some villagers of Khulsaibung on March 10 .
The team also confiscated money and mobile phones from the innocent villagers.
At the end of the meeting held on March 11, the JPC was constituted apart from adopting several resolutions.
A memorandum highlighting the resolutions has been submitted to Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam and Education Minister M Okendro.
The memorandum urged the Government to pull up all the Khulsaibung villagers and militants involved in assaulting the innocent villagers and return the money and mobile phones confiscated from them within five days.
The memorandum also questioned whether Khulsaibung village and the particular militant group have any objection against the dam being constructed at Heirok Part II Chingol Melei Lampak.
The JPC then urged the Government to carry out a proper demarcation of the contested area so as to avert any untoward incident.
