Jiribam, July 04 2017:
Two tribal bodies of Jiribam namely the United Chiefs Committee (UCC) and the Tribal Rights Demand Committee (TRDC) are likely to begin agitation regarding the issue of declaring Jiribam as a district without consulting them .
A statement issued by the general secretary of the UCC, Jiribam stated that a core body meeting of the two tribal bodies was held on June 30 at Tuisuolien and added that although the bodies recently met CM N Biren regarding the long standing issue, they can no longer tolerate the State Govt's intentional negligence.
It pointed out that the two bodies are determined to launch agitations in order to get their rights and added that the authority concerned should be responsible if any untoward incidents occur.
