Imphal, April 16 2013:
Councillor of IMC Ward No 22, Ngamminlun Kipgen has today clarified that the incident which took place on April 14 night at Soibam Leikai� wherein tribal tenants alleged of assault and harassment by a mob� was over public land encroachment by an individual household and not against the tenant students per se.
Dismissing the allegations levelled by Tangkhul Katamnao Long, Imphal and KSO as unfounded, Ngamminlun Kipgen urged the student organisations as well as the local club to restrain themselves from giving a communal tone on the incident.
Drawing the attention of the authority concerned over the alleged attack on tribal tenants, TKLI and KSO had sought adequate protection to the students from the Government.
