Senapati, June 15 2014:
A fact finding team sponsored by United Naga Council (UNC) has reportedly taken the first hand report on the land dispute at Lilong Chingkham and also the Thoubal-Chandel district border row in the vicinity of Kakching Lamkai area.
UNC said it will respond appropriately to the Joint Non-Government Voluntary Organisation (JNGVO) and Lilong Chingkham Maya Development Organisation if the two groups continue to be wild in their approach.
"We are ready to face any eventuality," said UNC.
On June 11, stray incidents occurred at Lilong Chingkham area and also at Kakching Lamkhai over land disputes.
The one at Lilong Chingkham was based on the bone of contention between two communities regarding an open area in the vicinity of the village.
Regarding the Kakching Lamkhai incident, one group of people alleged another group encroaching land belonging to Thoubal district.
Some villages had written Chandel district in the signboards which was objected by the other group saying these villages are well within Thoubal district.
In both the incidents, police had a harrowing time in trying to control the highly charged situations.
