DIMAPUR, JANUARY 17 (MExN): The Merangkong Village Council (MVC) has condemned the attempt to “tarnish the image of its village” by circulating a forged communication purportedly issued by the Chairpersons of Chuchuyimlang and Merangkong Village Councils calling for bandh within the jurisdiction of Merangkong and Chuchuyimlang village beginning January 18.
