Ukhrul, April 18 2018:
The Tangkhul Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) have asked Forest and Environment Minister Th Shyam Kumar to first release the seized timbers unconditionally so that the "ban entry" in Tangkhul inhabited areas can be reviewed or revoked instantaneously.
According a statement issued by H Khongreiwo Sessional Secretary, a coordination meeting was held yesterday in response to the appeal of the Forest Minister to revoke the decision of banning him in Tangkhul Naga inhabited areas.
The meeting deliberated the issue at length and further resolved to consider the appeal of the Forest Minister provided the seized timbers are released unconditionally first.
Till then the decision would remain unaltered.
