The statement issued by Old Beisumpui Village appeared on the 6th August 2010 in the Morung Express with captain OLD BEISUMPUI VILLAGE ON DEMARCATED is completely baseless. The claim absolutely wild and motive behind such statement is the confuse the general public and create disharmony in the community.
The ancestral land boundary respected by Old Beisumpui and Old Nkkio is naturally Intangki upto the confluence at Tamaki ( Dhanshiri River). But in order to maintain social harmony and peace, old Nkio Village consented to be a signatory in the memorandum of understanding entered between Zeliangrong Baudi ( N) and Kuki Inpi (N) in the year 1999. Wherein it was specified that the land ownership of Songngou, Old Soget, Phaikholum, Sailhhem, Khelma came under old Nkio excepting new Soger and Bongkolong. When the apex tribal bodies entered and understanding which was an important historic event, all the parties involved had agreed to abide by the termed and condition enshrined in the said M.O.U. it is ridiculous for Old Beisumpui to make a fresh claim is obviously seen as a bed design and certainly not healthy sign.
Old Beisumpui should publicly apologize for releasing such statement and retreat their claim. Old Nkio Village would defend its land at whatever cost. As per the past statement which cover Azu Newmei, Old Nkio which to clarify that the land which was designated to establish ‘Nkio Namdi’ was under the jurisdiction of Nkio village land vacant at present. The no objection certificate was granted to Azu Newmai and does not violate any one’s right and ownership. The allegation leveled against him by Old Beisupui is directly aimed at Old Nkio and we are determined to face any challenge. It would be wise for Old Beisumpui Village to desist from opening the chapter which was closed for good.
