By Our Staff Reporter
IMPHAL, Jun 6: Showing keen interest in the Autonomous District Council elec- tions, Chandel A/C MLA Thangkholun Haokip sta-ted that there is the need for the RJD to start preparations for the ADC polls from now onwards so that the party assumes power in District Councils.
Speaking at a meeting of the party’s Hill District Council at the Sanjenthong residence of RJD Chandel district president Limjalet Haokip today, Thangkho-lun exuded that RJD can score commendable victory if the party is strengthened in all the hill districts.
He further claimed that coalition partners of the SPF Govt––Congress, CPI and RJD, are working together under a mutual understanding. Maintaining that there is no binding condition that RJD MLAs should be Ministers, Thangkholun hailed CM O Ibobi as working sincerely in the interest of the people. He further called upon the bigger tribes to ensure success of candidates belonging to smaller tribes in the ADC polls. This would not only enhance trust among the different ethnic groups but would also help in accelerating development, the MLA said.
RJD vice-president Chungkhei Haokip called upon the party workers to ensure that RJD grasp power in District Councils which strength has been increased to 28 from the previous 18 including two Govt nominees. RJD district presidents and secretaries of Churachandpur, Chandel and Sa- dar Hills exuded that the party will be able to claim power in District Councils.

IMPHAL, Jun 6: The identity of the person slain last night by unidentified gunmen at Kongba Nongthom- bam Leikai under Porompat Police Station has been established as Lairellakpam Angonao alias Anthony (26) of Khurai Thoidingjam Leikai. Claiming that the deceased is innocent, JAC has been constituted against the killing and staged sit-in-protest at Khurai Thoidi- ngjam Leikai today.
The protesters also blo-cked Imphal-Ukhrul road in the evening till the last rites of Angonao were comp-leted.
According to family me-mbers, Angonao was pick- ed up yesterday evening at around 5 pm by four/five unifentified gunmen who came in a steel coloured Scorpio when he was sitting at Nanao Activa Servicing Centre of Lamlong Keithel.
Refuting the charge that Angonao is an informer, family members said that the deceased is not related to any armed group or security forces.
They expressed suspicion that Angonao had become a victim of mistaken identity as his name is not ‘Santosh’ as written in a piece of paper found in his pocket, “Santosh was awa-rded capital punishment for being an informer, others associated with him should stop being informers”.
