Imphal, June 17 2016 :
The Tribal Rights Demand Committee
(TRDC), Jiribam in its consultative meeting reaffirmed their stand
that it would not tolerate any steps taken by any group or organisa-
tion that would compromise the rights and privileges enjoyed by
the tribal peoples of Jiribam sub-division yesterday.
Although upgradation of Jiribam sub-division to a full-
fledged district is a welcoming step towards development, the
TRDC would fight tooth and nail if development and admin-
istrative convenience are to be achieved at the expense of
tribals of Jiribam.
It has appealed to the State Government to
look into the aspirations of the tribals which were clearly
stated in the memorandum (s) that were submitted to the Chief
Minister's office at the earliest time possible, said a press
release issued by the secretary of TRDC.
