Churachandpur, July 11 2014 :
The Joint Student Bodies of Hmar Students' Association, Thadou Kuki Students' Union and Kuki Students Organisation, Churachandpur District) has in press release clarified over the claims made by relatively unknown KNLA that it had committed arson & vandalism to Tuibuong Service Station on the night of July 8, 2014 "for selling of adulterated fuel, and for not heeding the warning of the KNLA for doing so" is completely absurd, outrageous, and utterly baseless.
The joint student bodies had probed the allegations of the KNLA and found it devoid of any truth and it is rather - just a mere fabrication of lies and a desperate attempt at face saving and self-justification for having placed the lives of many residents of Tuibuong and the District Headquarters at great risk by attempting to burn down the combustible petrol pump, it said.
The Student Bodies have investigated the matter thoroughly, and have come to the findings that the so called KNLA had served a monetary demand of a specific amount to Tuibuong Service Station, and the failure to realise the same led to the unwarranted act of arson & vandalism, it added.
It is the sincere urge of the Joint Student Bodies that all the stake-holders in the society, irrespective of social or political affiliations should all work towards creating conducive atmosphere for business and refrain from making undue demands on any business establishments in the district.
The release also appealed to "the KNLA" to detest from such acts which could create fear psychosis in the minds of the public like issuing threats / serving monetary demands on individuals & business firms.
