Imphal, August 06 2013:
Tongjeimarin District Demand Committee (TDCC) has pressed for early creation of Tongjeimarin District comprising 915 square KM area to be carved out of Tamenglong, Senapati, Churachandpur and Imphal East districts (Jiribam with 150 villages).
In a statement, Chairman of TDCC Abon Kamei recalled that the first memorandum to press the demand for creation of Tongjeimarin district was submitted to the Government of Manipur in 1998 proposed.
The demand is in the interest of bringing about faster pace of development in Manipur by pulling up the most backward areas.
Abon Kamei also warned that TDCC may be compelled to take up a series of agitation programme if the Government continues to neglect the demand.
