Imphal, August 03 2023:
As the Indigenous Tribal Leaders' Forum (ITLF), a body of Kuki tribe leaders, planned to convert the government sericulture farm at Torbung Bangla, which the ITLF claimed as within the jurisdiction of Haolai Khopi village to a mass graveyard, the Kuki village chief was found illegally encroaching on government land, the sericulture farm, for which the Deputy Commissioner of Churachandpur district issued eviction notice on May 24, last year.
According to the eviction order issued by DC Churachandpur more than a year ago, chief of Haolai Khopi Kamsei encroached on state land/sericulture farm by way of construction of road at the centre of the farm, which is a state land.
Accordingly, the notice directed the chief to remove the encroachment within three days while informing that eviction shall be carried out without further notice if the chief fails to comply.
It also directed the SDO Kangvai to carry out the eviction by engaging adequate police force and submit a compliance report.
