ReplyDeleteTaroks only form one percent of mikang local government as settler and for some one to say Tarok form 40% of mikang is not just mischievous but a violence romoter. Ethnics groups of mikang local government are; Tehl (Montol), Youm(Garkawa), Piapung and Koenoem. His royal highness Long-Tehl Barr, Donald Dajen Puntehl is the president mikang traditional council.
