__TOC__

The average sex ratio of the village is 878 female to 1000 male which is lower than Manipur state average of 985.

The village is home to people of Tangkhul Naga tribe. Majority of the inhabitants are Christians. Agriculture is the primary occupation of the inhabitants. In 2015, the original settlement got submerged in water when the Mapithel Multi Purpose dam was commissioned. Most of the arable land in the village also got submerged and some of the residents relocated to a higher ground while most of the residents resettled elsewhere. The village for now has become a tourist destination who mainly visit for sightseeing, fishing and camping by the dam.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://e-pao.net/epSubPageExtractor.asp?src=news_section.opinions.Opinion_on_Building_of_Tipaimukh_Dam.Mapithel_Dam_and_its_impact_on_Chadong_By_Meena_Longjam|title=Impact of Mapithel Dam on Chadong|publisher=e-pao|accessdate=2019-11-11 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://e-pao.net/epSubPageExtractor.asp?src=news_section.editorial.editorial_2019.Chadong_lake_of_tears_or_site_of_tourism_IT_20190713|title=The lake of tears|publisher=e-pao|accessdate=2019-11-11 }}</ref> The submerged church and the old settlement is visible when the water level of the dam recedes during winter and is a major attraction for tourists to revisit the once flourishing village.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.eastmojo.com/documentary/2019/08/31/dam-disaster-how-mapithel-changed-course-of-lives-in-manipur|title=Chadong Church submerged|publisher=East Mojo|accessdate=2019-11-11 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/north-east-india/manipur/manipur-body-of-missing-tourist-fished-out-from-maphou-dam-search-continues-for-other-two-5707529/|title=Tragedy at Chadong Lake|publisher=Indian Times|accessdate=2019-11-11 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://e-pao.net/GP.asp?src=9..180615.jun15|title=Chadong turned into a Lake|publisher=e-pao|accessdate=2019-11-11 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.internationalrivers.org/blogs/328-22|title=Inside look to Chadong|publisher=International Rivers|accessdate=2019-11-11 }}</ref>
