Thowaii Kuki village cheers youth body B’day

IMPHAL, Apr 24: Along with colourful cultural items, the first raising day of Thowaii Kuki Youth Organi-sation was celebrated today at Thowaii Kuki village in Phungyar Assembly Constituency of Ukhrul district.

The raising day celebration was held for the first time after resettlement at the village in 2003 which had been deserted during the Naga-Kuki clashes.

Thowaii Kuki Youth Organisation was established on March 15, 2004.

The celebration was held with S Yangkahou Salka-phung as chief guest, president of KSO Ukhrul District as functional president and Mangshei Haokip as guest of honour.
All those who spoke at the occasion pointed out that Thowaii Kuki village is one of the oldest Kuki villages which has been in existence even before the British occupation of Manipur.

They also lamented that though Thowaii Kuki village falls under the jurisdiction of Phungyar Assembly Constituency of Ukhrul district, the district administration has not issued resettlement order of the people as a result of which National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme is yet to be implemented in the village.

They also appealed to the district administration for issuing the resettlement order at the earliest possible.

It may be noted here that comprising of around 40 households with a population of 200 people, there is also no facility for power supply and health care in Thowaii Kuki Village till date.
