IMPHAL, April 11: The BJP Lamlai mandal in collaboration of villagers under the BDO Sawombung staged a sit-in-protest at Sawombung bazaar demanding return of the office to its`™ origin place at Sawombung from Porompat DC complex.
In the side line of the sit-in-protest, L Shyam general secretary BJP Lamlai Mandal said that the SDO office was shifted to Porompat DC Complex in the year 2006/7 which all the SDC, BDO, CIC, Sub- Register on account of lapses of security in the area.
But the state government has not shown any sign the office will be returned to its origin place, even though they have made several written complaint to the Chief Secretary, Commissioner Revenue and RD/PR, as the security in the area has improved during last few years.
He further said that till now the government has not initiated any positive response on their memorandums. People under the Swombung SDO are facing plenty of difficulties, including in small official matters like taking income certificates for student and land revenue tax payment, electoral role correction etc.
At present Swombung SDO is like a temporary refugee camp inside the DC complex Porompat. So we demand the SDO office to be return in its`™ original place of Swombung at earliest, he said.
He said that the demand and agitation will continue until their demand is met.
