“The office of the Chakhroma Youth Organisation (CYO) is compelled to issue this order in light of the incident which occurred at Maova Village on February 13th 2026, whereby Maova Villagers had physically assaulted Chakhroma Public Organisation (CPO) President and his colleagues and grievously injured its volunteers. Thereby, to resolve the issue, CYO had issued an ultimatum to produce the persons responsible for the premeditated attack and to come to terms for a peaceful solution among Maova Village and CPO” stated the order issued by the Information & Publicity Wing of Chakhroma Youth Organisation on 19 March 2026.
“Be it mentioned herein that on the request of Maova Village, CPO had provided ample opportunities to Maova Village leaders on numerous occasions to settle the issue amicably. However, till date Maova village leaders had failed to come to terms with CPO for a peaceful solution.

“Therefore, taking into account the actions of Maova village Chairman, GB and Ex-Chairman who were responsible for instigating their youths for the premeditated attack on the CPO leaders and CYO volunteers and subsequently failing to come to an amicable solution. The office of the CYO hereby serves this banishment order to Sutminal Vaiphei, Chairman, Maova Village Council, Seiboi Changsan, Head GB and Paoboi Changsan Ex-Chairman, from Maova Village in particular and Chakhroma Jurisdiction in general with immediate effect. Furthermore, the said people are directed to leave Chakhroma jurisdiction within thirty (30) days from the date of this order” stated the order of CYO.
