Imphal, July 19 2013 :
Seriously viewing the Manipur Gazette Notification dated March 6, 2013 that listed all the headmen of Kasom Khullen Block as elected chairman, the Headman and Elders' Forum of Kasom Khullen, Ukhrul district has demanded immediate rectification of the Gazette.
Clarifying that there is no VA election in 2012 and no official from the concerned department were present for the election, a statement issued by the Headman and Elders' Forum, Kasom Khullen subdivision said that there is no question of election to the post of chairman as the headman is the customary head.
No one can take the seat of headman as it is hereditary, said the statement.
Demanding the concerned authority to issue rectification/corrigendum immediately, the statement warned of launching agitation if the authority concerned fails to rectify the matter at the earliest.
