Ukhrul, July 05 2009:
Langtang Youth Club (LYC) and Langtang village authority have expressed strong resentment against the Chief Minister for laying the foundation stone at Lankhon (old unfinished jail) 7 kilometers away from Ukhrul town for construction of a polytechnic centre.
The Chief Minister, who without any understanding of the history of the villagers, is hoodwinking and and playing with the sentiments of the village (Langtang), said the villagers.
Talking to The Sangai Express, Langtang village secretary, Rayingkhanwung L said that they fully accept the Government plan to establish and construct a polytechnic centre at Lankhon (Previous proposal for centre jail) where the foundation wall has been already there along with some rooms.
However , laying the foundation stone, without the consent and acknowledgment of the villagers was truly uncalled for and unbecoming on the part of the Chief Minister and his party workers, he said.
