And commenting on the issue, Chipata District Land Alliance Community Facilitator, Ben Tembo said that the district Alliance will forward the concern to relevant authorities.
Meanwhile Chipata District Land Alliance Coordinator, Allan Kasongo said that the assessment done by CDLA revealed that the people in the area were not sensitised on the boundary issue.
