A meeting of JAC for the protection of Tribal and Minority Peoples’ Right was held today at Jiribam. The meeting expressed that the Press Release made by Jiribam District Demand Committee on the 4th Oct. 2015 is totally uncalled for and condemns the decision of the JDDC to resume its agitation with respect to the conversion of Jiribam to a full fledged revenue district while majority of the inhabitant of Jiribam which comprises of Tribals and Bengoli are reeling under the threat of the 3 infamous bill passed by the Assembly on the 31 Aug. 2015. The meeting also further asserted that unless all the stake holders of the proposed full fledged district are involved in the decision making process the demand for the proposed district would be considered as an exclusive demand which is meant to serve the interest of the Meitei community only.
