Imphal, August 04:
Decrying the notification issued by the District Council Delimitation Committee on July 25 in which it was proposed to name six MDC constituencies under Saitu-Gamphazol sub-division with lesser known names like Tintong, Laijang, Gamnom etc instead of well-known names like Sapermeina, Kanglatongbi, Motbung, Kangchup, Leimakhong, Bungte etc, a joint memorandum submitted to Chairman, District Council Delimitation Committee Ch Birendra has demanded review and annulment of the notification.
The memorandum was jointly signed by the chairman and the secretary of Saparmeina Area Village Organisation, general secretary of Motbung Area Chiefs Organisation, chairman of Kangchup Area Chiefs Association, chairman of Zeliangrong Union South Zone, chairperson of Kuki Women Union, New Keithelmanbi and secretary of the New Keithelmanbi Area Ching Tam Development Committee.
Alleging that the notification was issued only considering the proposal of an ex-MLA from Saitu A/C while ignoring the wish of the people, the memorandum remarked that it was a blatant injustice.
It further appealed to the District Council Delimitation Committee Chairman to issue a fresh impartial notification within a stipulated time for delimitation of the six MDC constituencies located within Saitu-Gamphazol sub-division.
