Monyakshu village council (MVC) refutes Pessao village blockade claim

Monyakshu village council (MVC) has refuted and condemned the claim of Pessao village GB, K.S. Wenlang and village council member, Y. Eangba that Monyakshu village had imposed road blockade against Pessao village.

Calling the allegation as “false and baseless”, MVC secretary S.Wangsha, in a press release, clarified that there was no post-poll tension between Monyakshu and Pessao villages. Claiming that road to Pessao village connects only Pessao village alone, MVC said the question of blockade hampering other villages under 55 A/C Tobu did not arise.

MVC secretary claimed that three truckloads carrying essential commodities, a Tata pick-up carrying pigs have been sent to Pessao.

He also said vehicles including one passenger vehicle were plying freely between Monyakshu and Pessao.

MVC also accused Pessao village GB and council member, who were purportedly in Kohima, of trying to tarnish the “good old relationship” between two neighbours without knowing the facts happening back in their village.

“This faulty and baseless publication has tarnished the image of the Monyakshu village and angered its peace loving citizens,” said Wangsha.

Monyakshu village council has cautioned that GB and VCM would be held responsible if any untoward incident arose between the two neighbouring villages in future.

Pessao village GB and VCM had claimed that lives of the villagers were insecure due to “unpredictable eventuality” that could arise out of “unceasing tensions” between the two villages.

They had urged the responsible authorities and government to examine the prevailing situation and take positive measures.
