Lamka, Jun 28(TSE): Toeing the line of CDSU's opposition of the census 2011 in the light of overlapping villages, Zomi Human Rights Foundation today said they were equally concern over the operation in the contagious tribal owned areas.
The Indigenous Tribal lands, against the rights ensured by the Interna-tional Human Right Laws to the indigenous tribal people, have been continually encroached and snatched away by the successive Government of Manipur since 1960 by means of various forms. The Manipur Land Revenue and Land Reform Act, 1960; the Forest Policy etc among others, were the means deployed for this, alleged the rights group.
To substantiate their allegation, the ZHRF cited instances of 66 villages which are placed under the administrative jurisdiction of Bishnupur from Churachandpur since the 1980s. As a result there has been an overlapping of jurisdiction in these villages causing hardship and confusion to indigenous people. Government should immediately placed these 26 villages back to Chura-chandpur for end of justice, it pleaded.
