IMPHAL | Oct 2

Village chief, social activist, public leaders and youth leaders and public of 20 Sagang ADC constituency have decided to support and cooperate to the movement for creation of Sagang sub-division till the demand is granted by the government.

The decision was taken after a public meeting held today at Sagang Youth Club, Sagang Bazar, Churachandpur district on the topic “demand for creation of Sagang sub-division” organised by social activist and Komrem president, Lalkhomang Serto.

Addressing the crowd Serto said that he submitted a memorandum to the chief minister demanding creation of Sagang sub-division and the chief minister referred it to the Churachandpur deputy commissioner for enquiry. 

He said that creating Sagang sub-division will give administrative convenience to all the people of Sagang ADC as it geographically lies in the middle of all the 61 villages of 20 Sagang ADC constituency.

If the government creates the Samulamlan sub-division it will not be able to give administrative convenience to the villagers as it lies in the corner and moreover, the Samulamlan TD Block which was created 30 years ago is still not functional, added the president.

On the other hand the population of Sagang is 1700, and the population of Samulamlan is only 300 and moreover Sagang has many functioning public institutes, continued Serto.

After his speech was concluded options and views were given by several chiefs and public leaders regarding the demand for creation of Sagang sub-division.

The meeting resolved to form a demand committee for creation of Sagang sub-division and submit a copy of the meeting resolution to the chief minister, N. Biren and also to Churachandpur deputy commissioner to take necessaries action in favour of creating Sagang sub-division.

All the people attended in the meeting strongly condemned the allegation made by Samulamlan TD Block Chiefs’ Association against Serto for submitting memorandum for creation of Sagang sub-division and further asked the chief’s association not to personalise the issue in future as it is done in public interest.
