Imphal, September 10 2013:
Saying that the Government's bid to part some parts of Chandel and Ukhrul districts to Myanmar in lieu of some parts of the territory at Moreh is unbecoming and unfortunate, Ngashanchui Horam, ADC member of Ukhrul has urged the intervention of the Hill Area Committee to protect the tribal land.
In a statement, Ukhrul ADC member Ngashanchui Horam pointed out that the HAC is a body empowered to protect the land and rights of the tribal under Article 371 (c) of the Constitution.
Urging all elected representatives and tribal frontal organisations to work collectively to face the urgency to protect tribal land, the ADC member said tribal land and rights cannot be ignored at any cost.
