In a letter to Dy.

Rather only 4-5 members who had vested interest instigated the President and General Secretary of BBK to submit a complaint to the Dy. Commissioner. Jamoh also said that, MP Ninong Ering, MLA Kaling Moyong, Chief Councilor Kaling Doruk and others are not actually opposing the renaming, rather they are welcoming it.
