Imphal, July 1: Even as the Chief Minister of Manipur has stated that all land required for establishment of the Sports University has been allotted at Yaithibi Loukon, State BJP today said that as there are many disputed land in the area that the Chief Minister had stated the central government cannot take up steps to begin the University.
Talking to media person BJP leader Th Chaoba said that as the Chief Minister had allotted unclear land for the establishment of the Sports University the matter was not discussed in the Parliament.
“If a Bill has to be passed than the Government should allot lands which are disputed”, Chaoba said .
Reacting to the statement of the Chief Minister at which he said that sufficient land has been acquired at Yaithibi Loukon, Chaoba stated that how could a land be acquired without proper official procedure under the right to fair compensation and transparency in land acquisition, Rehabilitation and Settlement Act 2013 and proper presentation of the Social Impact Assessment report to the public.
Chaoba said that the state government has not notified the people of the Yaithibi Loukon about the establishment of the Sports University and acquisition of land without proper notification is complete violation of the rights of the people.
The matter has even been taken up as a serious one by the Asian Human Rights Commission on May, 2015. The Rights body had appealed both the state and central government authority to stop force land acquisition at Yaithibi Loukon.
Mentioned may be made that Chief Minister Okram Ibobi had blamed the central government for not starting the sports university even after alloting land some days back.
