\"Manipur<\/div>\n
Guwahati: The Manipur government<\/a> has initiated legal action<\/a> against individuals or organisations involved in the unauthorised renaming<\/a> of places<\/a> under the Manipur Names of Places Act<\/a>, 2024.<\/p>\n

The Kuki National Front-Military Council<\/a> erected a gate in Churachandpur district<\/a>, renaming a part of the Thangjing Hill range<\/a> as \u2018Thangting’ instead of ‘Thangjing Ching’ recently.<\/p>\n

Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh stated in X: \u201cThe state government has immediately taken up measures to book any group or individuals involved in changing existing names of places in the state. Under the Manipur Names of Places Act, 2024, a case has also been registered for renaming a part of the Thangjing Hill range as Thangting.”<\/p>\n

The Manipur Land Resources department<\/a> has lodged an FIR at the Imphal police station against the renaming of the Thangjing Hill range.<\/p>\n

The department\u2019s Under Secretary, Mangoljao Kamei, said that the present-day Thangjing Hill range falls within the Churachandpur-Khoupum Protected Forests which was notified on September 17, 1966, under the Indian Forest Act, 1927.<\/p>\n

Thangjing (Thang Ching) is a hill of historical importance<\/a>, and the Art and Culture Department<\/a> of the state government has declared it as a protected site<\/a> under Section 4 of the Manipur Ancient and Historical Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1976, Kamei said.The FIR said that the erection of a gate bearing the words Kuki National Front-Military Council with the name of the site mentioned as Thangting indicates unauthorised changing of the original name of Thangjing (Thang ching). It violates the provision of the Manipur Names of Places Act, 2024, and the Manipur Ancient and Historical Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1976.In the midst of violence<\/a> several organisations have started renaming places forcing the state government to enact the Manipur Names of Places Act, 2024.<\/p>\n

At least 220 people have been killed, 1,500 injured and 60,000 displaced since violence broke out between the Meitei<\/a> and Kuki-Zomi communities<\/a> on May 3 last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
