Imphal, April 04 2023:
Categorically rejecting Konsakhul village chairman Adam's claim that Kharam Thadoi, Kharam Vaiphei, Nakhujeng and Bethel villages are under the jurisdiction of Konsakhul village, Kharam Thadoi village secretary T Achung Kom has said the four villages existed since the 17th century and have been paying hill house taxes to the government since 1901-02.Addressing media persons at Kharam Thadoi village on Tuesday, Achung Kom pointed out Kharam Thadoi, Kharam Vaiphei, Nakhujeng and Bethel are old villages existing since the 17th century.
While contending that Kharam Thadoi is the 6th clan of Chingngu Maichou Taret as per the history of Manipur, he dismissed as baseless and condemnable claim made by Konsakhul village chairman Adam that Kharam Thadoi is under the jurisdiction of Konsakhul and settled by immigrants from Burma from 1950s.According to Achung Kom, both Kharam Thadoi and Kharam Vaiphei villages are not only old villages but Nakhujeng and Bethel villages come under the jurisdiction of Kharam Thadoi village.
All the four villages have no record of poppy cultivation and do not pollute water of Singda Dam till date but it was very unfortunate that Konsakhul village chairman made baseless allegations against the four villages, Achung Kom said and warned of taking up legal action against Adam if he fails to withdraw the allegations and come up with a clarification in this regard.
Mention may be made here that Konshakhul village authority submitted a memorandum to the Governor, the copies of which were also forwarded to the chief minister, DC and SP of Kangpokpi district on March 9, 2023 claiming that all the 21 villages around Konshakhul are under the its jurisdiction.
