IMPHAL, Oct 23: Villagers of Sora, Koijam, Langthabal, Laiching Minou and Yaithibi Khunou have vehemently protested against the State government for attempting to illegally obtain land without the consent of villagers for the setting up of the Sports University at 44 Yaithibi Khonou allegedly through coercive measures.

The locals of five villages in Thoubal district took the resolution of objecting the government`™s move in a public meeting held at the Sora Bazar Community Hall today.

The meeting was graced by Yaithibi Gram Panchayat pradhan Md Mojuruddin.

In the meeting, the locals took another resolution of urging the concerned authorities to construct the Sports University elsewhere other than 44 Yaithibi Loukol after consulting and taking the consent of all the people of the State. The participants in the meeting stated that if the Union government has given the approval of setting it up here in good faith keeping the interests of the people of Manipur in mind, the government shouldn`™t have any problems in shifting the location of the proposed Sports University in some other place.

Condemning the coercive measures of Kakching MLA Y Surchandra, Wangjing Tentha MLA P Brojen and Tengnoupal MLA DK Korunthang who with the assistance of the Thoubal DC and other staffs are forcibly trying to go ahead with the plan of setting up the Sports University, the locals unanimously decided to launch strong agitations against these individuals if they persist with their activities.
