Imphal, February 25 2016:
The protest against the Govt decision to re-
name Thangting subdivision as Kangvai under the auspices of
Khousabung Subdivision Demand Committee entered the 14th
day today.
A candle light vigil was held at the Khousabung village
market shed tonight.
The protesters demanded that the subdi-
vision be renamed as 'Khousabung subdivision' for the sake
of justice.
Villagers drawn from different villages of the area
took part in the candle light vigil.
"We do not harbour any misgiving or grudge against any
individuals or community, but we are fighting to find justice,"
S Gouneu, secretary of KSDDC said.
"We will continue the agitation until our grievances are
redressed," he affirmed.
The KSDDC said that the Cabinet decision was 'biased'
and against democratic principles.
It said that majority's wish
to rename the subdivision as 'Khousabung subdivision' was
overlooked.
It urged all concerned to lend cooperation and
support to the people's movement for justice.
