Briefing a press conference held at Moirangkhunou Makha Leikai, L Mohen general secretary of the committee informed that the committee was created on October 23 after a meeting of the residents of the area in order to save the grazing ground.

L Mohen further appealed to the concerned authorities to look into the matter at the earliest, failing which the committee would be compelled to resort to various kinds of agitation if the eco tourism park gets constructed against the wishes of the committee.

The press conference was participated by L Dhaneshor, pradhan Moirangkhunou CP; L Birababu, retired Additional SP; M Rajen, president Moirangkhunou Grazing Ground Protection Committee; M Leima, meira paibi leader and executive member of the committee; I Ningthemjao, president Nganuleima Development Committee and N Ingocha, president KYDA.
