Kangpokpi, November 28 2014 :
Amidst much opposition and offer of land for construction of Sports University in the State, the Kuki Students' Organization (KSO) Sadar Hills today expressed strong opposition against offering of land by Koutruk, Senjam Khunou and Senjam Chirang Development Organization to the State Government for construction of sports university.
Speaking to media persons this evening at Kangpokpi Thangminlen Kipgen, president, KSO Sadar Hills alleged that the land offered by Koutruk, Senjam Khunou & Senjam Chirang Development Organization for construction of sports university belongs to Haraothel village which is under the administrative jurisdiction of ADC Kangpokpi.
He continued that the photo captured and published in The Sangai Express yesterday is not the land of Haraoching Chingkhong but that of Haraothel village.
With the intention of acquiring the land, Koutruk and its surrounding villages offered the land free of cost to the Government, alleged the KSO Sadar Hills leader.
Elucidating the matter to the combined team of MPP officer bearers, local leaders and media persons Thangmin-len Kipgen said that the area measuring 800 acres at Haraoching Chingkhong allegedly offered by Koutruk, Senjam Khunou and Senjam Chirang for the proposed sports university free of cost is a disputed land.
MPP officer bearers and Koutruk, Senjam Khunou & Senjam Chirang leaders evidently know that the Centre's instruction was to set up the Sports University at a place where there are no disputes, pointed out Thangminlen.
"We would like to offer the State Government land required for the proposed sports university at any site whether it be near Trans Asian Highway or in the interior site within Sadar Hills where there are no disputes if the Government in reality wants to construct the sport university in Hill area", Kipgen added.
Cautioning the Koutruk, Senjam Khunou & Senjam Chirang Development Organization KSO Sadar Hills president reminded that the land they offered free of cost is a disputed land and therefore it will be wise on their part to stop such mischievous initiatives so as to avoid any unsolicited incident.
