Dimapur, June 7 (MExN): Thilixu Village Council (TVC) today refuted the claims of the Mishikito Village Council (MVC) regarding the May 16 incident. In a rejoinder to the news report ‘Call for dispensation of justice’, which was published on June 2, TVC said that “there is no village or colony known by the name Mishikito within and adjoining of recognized Thilixu village.” Thus, it said, “claiming the land of Thilixu village Block III as jurisdiction of so called Mishikito without any locus standi and the question of so called self styled Mishikito does not arise within the traditional boundary of the Thilixu village.”
The rejoinder issued by TVC Chairman, Nikhevi Yeptho and Secretary, Atoka Achumi further said that on June 1, a group of “self interested people” residing at Thilixu village Block III had submitted the representation to the Deputy Commissioner in “one of the most void and illegal manner under the banner of unauthorized Village Council and bearing the signature of self styled Village Council Chairman of so called Mishikito Village Council.” TVC stated that the matter should be viewed seriously by the Government since “there is no recognized village known by the name Mishikito within Dimapur district.
Moreover, it added, the letter addressed to DC as published in the local dailies contains “malafide allegation and deceiving information to mislead the concerned authority and general public.” Hence, the TVC appealed to reject the representation made by the “unauthorized entity” Mishikito Village Council.
