Reacting to Diphupar Village Council (DVC)’s claim that Diphupar Communities Chairman Forum (DCCF) was an unrecognized forum, the DCCF Saturday clarified that the forum did not seek any recognition or de-recognition from DVC. In a press release, DCCF convenor Vhimala Medom and secretary Zuchumo Mozhui said the forum was a common platform formed for all communities of Diphupar village for maintaining harmony and coexistence irrespective of tribes.
Stating that the forum was always concerned about the overall development of the village, the signatories said when misappropriation of village fund came to its knowledge, the forum attempted to sort out in consultation with DVC, but failed after argument developed between DCCF and DVC. However, they said the matter was ultimately solved in the presence of DC Dimapur on October 8, 2018. In the light of the above, DCCF has appealed to DVC to focus on development of the village by judiciously using the fund received from the government instead of making unfounded or baseless allegation against DCCF.
