Imphal, June 17 2016 :
The Tribals Rights Demand Committee, Jiribam
in its consultative meeting has reaffirmed its
stand for non-tolerance to steps of any group or
organisation that would compromise the rights
and privileges of the tribal people of Jiribam.
In a statement, the committee said that
though the upgradation of Jiribam sub-divi-
sion as full-fledged revenue district will
ensure development, it would oppose the
demand if the development and administra-
tive conveniences are to be achieved at the
expense of the tribals of Jiribam.
The statement urged for equal participa-
tion of all the stakeholders in order to prevent
conflict of interest and unrest among the
communities of Jiribam.
It also appealed to the State Government
to consider the concern of the tribals before
making a concrete decision.
