Imphal, May 6 NNN: Feud over Chawangkining land dispute in Senapati district emerged again with the Naga People\u2019s Organosation (NPO) urging the state government of Manipur and the district administration to intervene if any untoward incident is to be prevented.
\nOn the other hand, the Kuki Inpi, Sadar Hills claimed that it was first settled by the Kukis.

\n\u201cWe demanded for the immediate intervention of the state government and the district administration into the sensitive and volatile land encroachment incident of the Naga areas in Chawangkining village and in the cattle farm near Daili village along the IT Road,\u201d urged the NPO today. It added that the two areas are located under the Kangpokpi ADC surrounded by the Kuki commuities.
\nThe NPO then cautions that in the event of any untoward incident arrises, the state government will bear the responsibility.
\nKuki Inpi, Sardar Hills president Chungkam Haokip informed that the Kukis were settling in the area but during the Naga-Kuki conflict the Kukis had left the area briefly.
