Imphal, Sept 28:
All Manipur United Clubs Organisation (AMUCO) Asst Secretary Organisation K santosh in a press release states that the clash that broke out between villagers of Aimol Khunyai and Aimol Chingnunghut, Tengnoupal district on Saturday, 26 September was unfortunate and appealed to the villagers to maintain peace and harmony among the people. On September 27 a team of AMUCO led by President Pheiroijam Nando Luwang and advisor R Yangsosong Koireng visited both the villages and talked with the village heads to maintain peace.
It is reported that one Pastor died and more than 20 persons sustained injuries during the clash. To prevent further occurrence of any untoward incident, the district magistrate of Tengnoupal had imposed curfew in and around the two villages just after the clash.
AMUCO further states that such a crisis resulting in loss of life and injuries of many people is very unfortunate. Appealing to the people of the state to prevent recurrence of such incidents in the future, it drew the attention of the state government to look into Saturday’s incident very seriously and urged to take up necessary measures for restoring peace and harmony. “Clashes between two villages, two communities, and neighbours over land is getting very common like an illness,” it contended and stressed that it is time for the government to settle all land disputes by taking up land survey and demarcation processes under a special policy to prevent such clashes in the future. While saying that two neighbouring villages always help each other in the time of need in the old days, it expressed apprehension that such clashes might have also been the result of various influences from outsiders. AMUCO appealed to the general public not to politicise the issue between these two villages.
