Imphal, March 12 2014 :
Reacting to the press statement of the ZYF with regard to District Concern Development Association (DCDA) and DIPJOF's demand for transfer of Tamenglong DC and challenging the legitimacy of the two bodies, the DIPJF and DCDA/TD claimed that they are mandated by the people and are set up just for Tamenglong district to work for protection of land/district boundary; rights and identity and to ensure good governance and check misappropriation of development funds.
A statement issued by the Convenor of TDPJF, G Kariaklung said that the two bodies are not functioning under the control and influence of national workers of any group.
The statement pointed out that the two bodies are formed during a joint frontal organisation emergency meeting organised under the banner of Zeliangrong Students' Union and Zeliangrong Youth Front on April 12, 2011 at Zeliangrong House, Tamenglong headquarters.
It further appealed all sections of the people and frontal organisations of Tamenglong district in particular to live and follow the principles of peace, love and sincerity for overall prosperity.
