KEY-POINTS ON THE CREATION OF NEW 7 DISTRICTS :
1. The New Districts are created under the Revenue Department without even consulting the HAC.
2. Ofcourse all the Hill Districts are placed under Revenue District but we are paying only our house tax not Land tax. But if MLR and LR Act of 1960 is implemented, our land will be surveyed and after surveying a family with 6 members will be given 6 hactres of land, 7 members 7 hactres and 8 members 8 hactres but not beyond 8 hactres.
3. The remaining Land will be declared Khash Land (Govt Property).
4. To acquire a Patta in Khash Land Cabinet decision is required, consequently as we have few Cabinets we will not be able to acquire pata, therefore we will remain a Landless citizen in our own Land.
5. Land Ownership and Tribal land Law system will be abolished.
6. Our Constitutional Rights given to us under Article 371(c) are denied. If this new Districts are made as Revenue Districts, there is no future for Tribal at all for the casualties on Tribal of Manipur would be : No applicabilities of the following safe guarding Acts :
------------
1. The Manipur Village Authorities Act, 1956.
2. The Manipur Hill Areas(Aquisition of Chiefs' Rights) Act, 1967.
3. The Manipur Forest Rules, 1971.
4. The Manipur District Council Act, 1971.
5. HAC of the Manipur Legislative Assembly.
6. Loss of land rights as your customary land holding rights will be replaced by MLR and LR Act, 1960.
-------------
To be more precise there will be no Seperate Administration for Hill Districts anymore in all respects. We the Tribal must fight against the decision or order of the GOM as the Cabinet of the Govt of Manipur didn't obtain the approval and consent of HAC in creating the 7 Districts which are under the Territory/Geographical areas of the former Hill Districts.
The HAC is the only Competent Authority over the matters of the Hill areas as per Article 371C of the Constitution. We have been Socially, Politically, Economically, Psychologically descriminated.
They(meitei) know the value of the Land, the move is continuing in the form of ILP, Anti- tribal bills, and finally the creation of 7 Districts.
Survey have already started in those Lands where even MLR Acts are not place under in some Tribal areas. There is also an evil intention of the GOM as the Land Records of the Hill are not yet being transfered to the HAC.

CREATION OF THE 7 DISTRICTS SHOULD NOT BE AT THE COST OF OUR LAND.
