Imphal, August 26 2016 :
The Chadong Permanent Hangvapam (per-
manent hereditary land owner) of Chadong Village, Ukhrul has
affirmed that all land and territory in the village are jointly owned
by the Hereditary Hangvapam and the village public and the village
headman is not the sole owner of the village land and he alone can-
not take executive decision on land matters without the consent of
the Hangvapam and the village public.
Any matter relating to reha-
bilitation and resettlement due to Mapithel dam cannot be decided
without the consultation and consent of the Hangvapam.
The Hangvapam further urged the State Government that
all rehabilitation and resettlement matters of Chadong village
should be dealt through the Chadong Mapithel Dam Rehabili-
tation and Resettlement Committee and stop all plans to
commission the dam till thay are resolved through the Committee.
