Imphal, July 12, 2013:
The Rongmei Lu Phuam (RLP) Assam, Manipur & Nagaland vigorously appealed to the Government of Manipur to reconsider and review the eviction of Kabo Leikai/Naga River Colony, near North AOC, Imphal as to allow the helpless victim resettle on their aged old own homestead lands in the earliest.
According to a statement issued by RLP, the genuine pattas holders were treated mercilessly by vacating their homes in tears for constructing a 5 Star Hotel.
It is a violation of human rights that the residents were forced out from their ancestral homes and men, women and children were physically manhandled, pushed and assaulted that the helpless displaced ones school children are unnerved and shocked terribly while many bed ridden sick ones and physically challenged persons suffer beyond imagination, mentioned in the statement issued by RLP.
It said that the values of the aged old villages cannot be compared to a mere 5 Star Hotel business.
