Imphal, April 17 2010:
The joint action committee of the people affected by Integrated Check Post Moreh has alleged that 57 per cent of the total compensation amount have been swindled jointly by the KNA, HTC and the Branch Manager of UBI Moreh and the same amount has been entered into the account of the HTC.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club here today, JAC president Semjathang Haokip said that remaining 43 per cent of the compensation amount is lying in the names of the affected pattadars unclaimed.
He appealed to the Government to invalidate the cheques already distributed through the Chandel DC and distribute new cheques at Imphal where the KNA cannot interfere.
Decrying the act of deducting compensation after their homesteads have been forcibly taken over by the Government, the JAC president said they would take legal aid in case the Government fails to respond to the JAC's appeal positively.
