Imphal. May 7NNN : The government of Manipur was accused of not paying necessary attention to the tension regarding land dispute in Chandel district of Manipur.
Speaking to media persons in its office at Kwakeithel, Imphal, the president of All Manipur United Clubs Organization (AMUCO), KT Rahaman said that tension between two neighbouring villages inhabited by Aimol and Maring tribes near Pallel bazaar in Chandel district has been brewing since May 5 over land disputes between the two villages.
The situation has deteriorated every passing day leading to quarrels, blocking of roads, cutting water supply pipes and even firing of guns which may lead to unfortunate and unwanted incidents disrupting the peaceful atmosphere of the area in particular and the state in general, said the president of AMUCO.
Appealing to the state government to take appropriate and immediate steps to defuse the strained relations between the two communities before any untoward and undesirable incident occurs, AMUCO president said the situation demands urgent positive action from the side of the state government to bring back peace through an amiable solution to the trouble.
Saying that all communities living in different parts of Manipur should live in peace and harmony, Rahaman also appealed to the two communities to hold peaceful negotiations and try to bring about a cordial agreement to solve the problem.
He went on to say AMUCO exists for integrity, peace and harmony of the people of Manipur and a team of AMUCO had met the villagers of both the communities to try to bring them to negotiate a compromise so that peace and harmony can be maintained to avoid any communal flare up.
