Imphal, April 06 2011:
Zeliangrong Union, Imphal Zone has expressed serious concern over the alleged intervention of SDO Lilong in earth excavation works for expansion of community pond at Kabui Chingkham village.
According to a press release issued by its general secretary Th Thaimeichung, the existing pond in the village under Dag No 3081 and adjoining lands under Dag No 3082 and 3083 are not mentioned in the notification issued on March 2 last as Government land.
The land under Dag No 83 located to the western side of the pond is also inherited from forefathers for performing customary rites since time immemorial.
The union also deplored the concerned MLA for trying to withdraw the agreement arrived between Kamudun Marangmei, Khullapka of Chingkham Kabui village and Md Kheiruddin of Chingkham Mamang under certain terms and conditions.
The ZU Imphal Zone appealed the concerned authority to bring an amicable solution between the two parties.
Saying that the matter must not be distorted into communal lines the union asserted that it would not tolerate discrimination of minority community as a silent spectator.
