YUPIA, Dec 20: The Papum Pare district administration convened a consultative meeting with the land donors of the Yupia headquarters township, PRI members, goan buras and student leaders to tackle the  illegal land encroachment and rampant earth cutting activities in and around Yupia township area.
The land donors of Yupia,  mostly belonging  to the Nabam, Tana and Techi clan called for a final land survey to ascertain factual boundaries of the headquarters.
“We donated our ancestral lands to the government  free of cost, expecting a vibrant socio economic development of the area. But today our donated land has been encroached upon and government servants being  a major chunk of the encroachers," said Tana Hochi, PI and a land donor, while appealing for proper re-survey and demarcation of the Yupia township area and prompt action against the encroachers.
 Responding to the appeals, DC Papum Pare Jiken Bomjen said that a committee comprising of the land donors, PRI members, Goan buras, government officials shall be constituted to carry out survey activities for demarcation of the headquarters.
Assuring his commitment to protect government land, the DC also added that series of consultative meetings shall be held before the final demarcation and factual notification of the headquarter area.
Issuing strict warning against illegal earth cutting activities in and around Yupia headquarters, without permission DC Bomjen added that “such unmonitored  activities could pose threat to the people staying in the foothills. NOC has to be sought from the District Administration for any such earth cutting activities."
DLRSO Nanne Yowa presented the current status of the land demarcation of  Yupia Headquarter township. He  sought cooperation from all the stakeholders to amicably solve the boundary issues.
