The protesters during the rally today burnt effigy of the DC.
The Makhuam Marangching village had submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister on August 31 demanding revocation of the posting order. The village authority had alleged that Armstrong Pame, when he was serving as DC of the same district in 2017, had allegedly awarded land compensation amount of Rs 36 crore to two persons namely Kh Lovejoy and Thuankulung Gangmei by amending/modifying the compensation award order issued by his predecessor. The village authority further alleged that Armstrong Pame thus denied  land compensation to a large number of affected land owners.
More intense agitation will follow of the Government does not revoke Armstrong Pame's posting order, said the village authority.
