IMPHAL, April 20 (NNN): The All Tribal Students Union, Manipur (ATSUM) has demanded that in the event of constructing an FCI godown for Chandel district at Molnoi village, the land record/revenue of the village should be transferred to Chandel district.
ATSUM`s comment came after a cabinet minister had said that the FCI godown is to be constructed at Molnoi village.
The ATSUM`s contention was that since Molnoi village falls under Thoubal district there cannot be any justification on the part of the government for constructing a godown for the Chandel people in another district. “If accessibility is the reason for the government for planning to construct the godown at Molnoi village, Chandel district headquarters is the best place for the whole of Chandel district, ” ATSUM stated. It contended that the hasty decision of the government in this regard can invite problems in the issue.
