IMPHAL, Feb 6 (Newmai News Network): Members of the Autonomous District Council (ADCs) will boycott the mega conference of the ADCs and Zilla Parishad which will be held on February 8 at Manipur Film Development Corporation (MFDC) in Imphal.
The mega conference will be organized by Rural Development and Panchayati Raj department.
Addressing the media today, Hemjathang Khongsai Secretary of the Autonomous District Council Coordination Committee (ADCCC) said that the state government has failed to fulfill the demands of the ADC members.
“As an expression of our resentment, we will boycott the conference and not only that, the ADC members under the aegis of ADCCC will take up stern forms of agitation,” said Hemjathang Khongsai.
It is worthwhile to mention that on January 5, the Autonomous District Council Coordination Committee, Manipur (ADCC) had accused the state Government of ignoring the ADCs making them totally powerless and that the Government is not heeding to the demands of the committee.
Hemjathang Khongsai had said that although the Government had conducted the ADC elections in the state after a gap of 20 long years giving an impression to the hill people for a new development and prosperity in various spheres, it had ignored the ADCs making them totally powerless till date.
The ADCC had submitted a memorandum raising various demands to the Chief Minister on November 10, 2012, but the Chief Minister had not given any response to the memorandum till now, he said.
