The Committee Against Shifting of FCI
Godown site from Liwa Khullen, Chandel has
condemned the alleged role of the DC, Chandel
in relocating the site for construction of a 2500
MT storage capacity FCI godown from Liwa
Khullen to Laiching Khuman.
According to a statement signed by the
committee convenor, Gabriel Chinir, the DC
issued a notice on June 29, 2016, naming a
new site for the construction of the FCI
godown.
Liwa Khullen as a site for construction of
the godown was approved by the State
Government.
Processes for acquisition of
land for the godown began during the term
of Th Chittaranjan Singh as Chandel DC.
However, recently, on June 29, the new DC
issued an order naming a new site for the
construction of the FCI godown.
The committee while alleging that the new
DC played a crucial role in the shifting proc-
ess said he will be solely held responsible if
the proposed FCI godown at Liwa Khullen
is relocated to any other site.
