Lamka, Dec 24: The Manipur Tribals' Council (MTC) in its attempt to
coerce the government on issuing election notification for district
council election, serve an ultimatum to the state government and
threatened to go on strike and indefinite economic blockade if their
dateline is not endorsed. Detailing the woes of the state tribals and
the subsequent denial of their right, the MTC said, in case the
government fails to issue election notification of the district
council on or before 16 January, 2010 an agitation it deemed fit will
be initiated so as to enjoy the tribal people rights and privileges
enshrine in the constitution.
The MTC also comes heavy on the recent incident wherein two tribals
students were allegedly lynched to death. Insisting that the incident
has shown that there is no human relation between hill and plain
people in the state of Manipur, a separate statement of the council
said the Christmas eve incident was in consonant with what have been
done at this time of the year in many succeeding years. (TSE)
CMO/CCpur denies involvement
By S Singlianmang Guite
Lamka, Dec 24: Expressing surprise over the threat issued to the Chief
Medical Officer of Churachandpur and published in the December 22
Manipuri edition of this paper, CMO/Churachandpur Dr Singkhozam today
said he was not at all aware of the accusation made against him nor
was involved in any such activity.
Failing to reason the basis on which KCP (KK Nganba group) issued a
threat to attack him at any available opportunity, Dr Singkhozam said
neither him nor his accountant were aware of any incident wherein he
was conniving with an armed group.
The threat he believed may have cropped up from a recent incident in
the district hospital, but claimed he was in no way connected with the
District Hospital that was managed by a Superintendent.( TSE)
