IMPHAL, Apr 11 : The Thingou Village Authority has called a total bandh along the Northern Frontier Railways within the jurisdiction of Thingou Village, Nungba Sub-Division in Noney District with effect from April 23, 2023 (Sunday) midnight.
A press release by Machunthoi Kamei, Khullakpa, Ex-Officio Chairman, Thingou Village Authority said that the total bandh is being called in protest against the callous attitude and non-compliance to the term of agreement made for providing compensation/rent to the affected and property owners of the village as per agreed points of the proceedings of the meeting on occupation of land at Thingou by Northern Frontier Railway for Security Camp on October 21, 2022 at the Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Noney District.
The authority of Thingou Village on behalf of all the affected landowners in the purview of Northern Frontier Railway construction touching both sides of the Railways at Thingou village after much patience and series of reminders, resorted to declare the total bandh.
After several intimations and representatives of Thingou Village served to the department concerned, the issue has been neglected and delayed since the aforementioned areas have been occupied by NF Railway for the last ten years.
The villagers will be compelled to take up intense agitation if the authorities concerned of Northern Frontier Railways fail to fulfil the demands of the villagers.
