Expressing dismay over construction activities being taken up at Phuaisanphai village under Kangvai sub-division in Churachand-pur district, the Joint Student Body (JSB) said such activities under the pretext of rehabilitation and construction of prefabricated houses is a part of the plan of state government to establish a stronghold in the village and use it as staging point for future attack.
According to JSB secretary DJ Haokip, Phuaisanphai village might be in the periphery of Bishnupur district but it does not fall under the said district.
He said that neither the village chief nor the villagers were informed about the construction activities but done at the behest of the state government without approval from village authorities.
Condemning the act in the strongest term, DJ Haokip term the activities as anti-tribal and illegal activities of state government while cautioning that repeated attempts by the government to grab tribal lands on the pretext of development will only widen the hill and valley divide.
