DIMAPUR, JULY 7 (MExN): A Joint Action Committee comprising of members from villages bordering Selophe Village today demanded de-recognition of Selophe Village for its failure to obtain No Objection Certificate from them. The villages are Rangapahar S. Hukavi Zhimomi Colony, Sangtamtila Village, Muruse Village, Thahekhu Village, and Thahekhu Block-7.
Stating that the basic minimum requirement for recognition of a village is to obtain NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the adjoining/neighbouring villages duly forwarded by the competent authority (Deputy Commissioner through proper channel), the JAC said such procedures were not followed in the case of Selophe.
“It has come to light that Selophe village, adjacent to Rangapahar Zoological Park has been established and recognized by the Government without fulfilling any norms/formalities, setting very bad precedence,” the JAC maintained in a press releases issued by its Convenor Hetokhu Awomi.
The entire neighbouring villages have boundary issues with Selophe village and in the interest of social harmony and peaceful co-existence, the JAC strongly appeal the government to immediately de-recognise the village so as to overcome any untoward incident, it said.
“The matter should not be even entertained by the honourable court till such time the village obtains NOC from the existing villages. Failing which, JAC shall deem it necessary to take its own course of action,” it added.
