Imphal, November 17 2023:
Meitei civil organisations of Churachandpur and CAF&PD Minister L Susindro have settled the issue arising from a statement made by the Minister during a special job card distribution programme held on November 8 .
The Meetei Society in a statement said that the Minister while attending the programme held at a relief camp opened at Farmers' Hostel of Veterinary and Animal Husbandry, Porompat had mistakenly said that "Meiteis in Churachandpur don't possess any land patta" .
Following this, the Meitei civil bodies in Churachandpur namely Meetei Society Churachandpur, Eema Leimarel Apunba Lup Churachandpur, Nupi Samaj Churachandpur and Meetei Youth Organisation Churachandpur as well as elders from Churachandpur had called on L Susindro on November 11 and cleared the confusion, the Meetei Society said.
The Minister's prompt clarification the same day via The Sangai Express also cleared further doubts and misunderstanding the civil bodies earlier had, it said.
The four civil bodies will have nothing to do if any further discourse on the issue arises, said the Meetei Society while exuding confidence that the Government will come up with more schemes for the welfare of internally displaced persons who are taking refuge in relief camps set up across the State.
