The Sirti Upa Ruh (Mongsang Tribe Union) has constituted a seven-member fact finding committee to probe and deal the matter regarding the reported siphoning of around Rs 2 Cr for fake documentation on Monsang dialect by one professor of University of Oregon, USA.
The fact finding committee, constituted during the general meeting of Sirti Upa Ruh held on Oct 17 at Japhou, is entrusted to submit its report to the Sirti Upa Ruh at the earliest date for further necessary action and justice, according to a statement issued by the president of Sirti Upa Ruh.
Saying that the matter is only between the Monsangs and the professor, the statement said no individual or groups/NGOs should interfere in the matter and poke their fingers through print or electronic media until the matter is solved.
It further said that any researcher on Monsang tribe and its language should seek the permission and approval of the Monsang Tribe Union and Monsang Language & Literature Society.
