Thoubal: Kakching District Protection and Development Committee (KDPDC) has lauded the statement of Chief Minister N Biren that he has directed the Concerned Deputy Commissioners to settle the boundary disputes.
A public meeting at Kakching Municipal Council Conference Hall on Sunday hailed the Chief minister for his statement.

Sarat, Social Worker Y. Satya and Y. Bheigyachandra graced the meeting as dignitaries.
KDPDC President Yengkhom Bheigyachandra while briefing to reporters after the meeting said that the public meeting was held with the sole objective of maintaining fraternity and unity among the communities which has existed for years. It is high time for all the communities to understand the initiatives of the government.
Today’s meeting takes the step taken up by the Kakching District Administration with regard to the district boundary as timely and reasonable, he said while urging the Authority to continue taking up necessary action in this regard.
People of the state are fully confident that the statement made by the Chief Minister would be translated into action. Government should demarcate the district boundary through Geo-tagging to ensure that boundary dispute does not arise in future.
He further said that people of the Kakching district do not oppose when any people from the Hill areas come and settle in Kakching district, however, any move to erect “Chandel district or Tengnoupal district” marked signboards in the areas wherever they settle cannot be accepted, he contended.
