All Party Hills Leaders’ Conference (APHLC) Demands Eviction of illegal encroachers

A Correspondent

Diphu: The members of All Party Hills Leaders’ Conference (APHLC) submitted a memorandum to the Executive Member i/e Land and Revenue, Amarsing Tisso recently demanding eviction of illegal encroachers of PGR/VGR land, government land and forest land under Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council. However, the claims of the landless indigenous Scheduled Tribes to such lands as per law should be recognized by the KAAC.

The party slammed Member of Parliament (MP) Horensing Bey and KAAC Chief Executive Member (CEM) Tuliram Ronghang for allegedly declaring in a public meeting held under Bithung Constituency that reserved forest land would be allotted to non-tribal people. “This is merciless murder of the rights of the hill tribes people under the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution of India,” stated the memorandum. This party also expressed resentment over the alleged silence of the civil society in this regard. The party urged people, irrespective of the political party they support, to be rational enough to oppose each and every illegal act of the government.
