Imphal, October 14 2008:
The Thangal Area MDC Circle Demand Committee while raising strong objection to the naming of Dolang District Council constituency, has recommended naming the constituency as Thangal constituency.
A press release issued by the committee contended that Dolang has a population of 732 as per 2001 census while Thangal village has 1219 people.
As such, the claim of Dolang as the largest village is bogus and false, it said.
Urging to name the constituency Thangal, it decried that the District Council Delimitation Committee has not come up with the name favoured by the majority.
It further cautioned that it will be taking up 'actions' in this regard for which the DCDC will be held responsible for any untoward incident resulting thereof.
