NNN: The All Tribal Students Union, Manipur (ATSUM) has at last agreed for the construction of an FCI godown at Molnoi village. Earlier, Kuki Chiefs Association, Chandel district, Thadou Students’ Association, Chandel dictrict (TSA-Cdl dist) and others have strongly opposed the move of the ATSUM. ATSUM had voiced against the move of the state government to construct the FCI godown at Molnoi village on the ground that the village’s land record is that of Thoubal district.
Today, ATSUM and Thadou Students Association, Chandel district (TSA-Chdl dist) in a meeting at the former’s office in Imphal have welcome the initiative of the government to construct the FCI godown for Chandel district at Molnoi village. However, ATSUM and TSA said they will push for the transfering the land record of Molnoi village to Chandel district at the earliest in collaboration with the ‘like-minded’ organisations. TSA-Chandel district then said it will support the move of ATSUM in championing the cause of the tribal people and exptend its support by participating in the affairs of the ‘apex tribal students’ body of Manipur’. Both the ATSUM and TSA said all the misgivings and misunderstandings on the FCI godown issue have been amicably ironed out in today’s meeting between the two parties.
