IMPHAM, June, 15: The Mapithel Dam Affected Villages Organisation has today issued a press release objecting to the official notification of the Deputy Commissioner, Ukhrul through local papers on June 4, 2013 regarding the verification to take up at Chadong on June 19, 2013 while saying that a number of condemnation and objection have been raised in this matter since October 2012 because the very process is not through proper channel, said it. Furthermore, it continues, “the affected villagers’ rehabilitation and resettlement issue lies at the expert review committee (ERC) which was officially constituted in 2008 and its review process have been taking place. So taking up the process through the wrong channel might have created a high social turmoil and violence because its drives are against the rights and aspirations of the affected people, said it.
