Imphal, September 01 2010:
Alleging that the State Government has been exploiting the tribal people of Manipur, making clandestine attempts by putting up signboards declaring several areas of the hill districts such as Churachandpur district and Chandel district as valley districts as valley districts besides deleting tribal population in the Census 2011 enumeration, the Hill Tribal Council (HTC), Moreh has sought intervention of the Prime Minister.
In a memorandum addressed to the Prime Minister, the HTC sought protection of district boundaries of Manipur, protection of the rural status of Moreh, non-deletion of tribal population in the census 2011 and protection of the rights of tribal people in Manipur by way of granting Sixth schedule in all the six hill districts of Manipur.
