Imphal, August 31 2017:
The All Manipur Tribal Union (AMTU) has today urged the Governor to facilitate appointment of a competent Director of Health Services, Manipur on superannuation of the incumbent Director .
In a memorandum to the Governor, AMTU said that Health sector in the State has been afflicted with various disorders and plagued by several controversies and scams for the last many decades .
The incompetence and lack of integrity of the administrative heads in such an important sector�who are only interested in fattening their already overflowing coffers�have contributed to the deteriorating state of affairs and people living in the remote hill areas of the State are worst affected, AMTU pointed out .
With the incumbent Director of Health Services, Manipur retiring shortly on superannuation, there is impending prospect of the post falling into corrupt or inefficient hands on the basis of 'flawed' seniority list, AMTU said .
As such, it urged the intervention of the Governor on the matter and recommend the appointment of a person of high integrity possessing an impeccable track record to the post of Director of Health Services, Manipur in the interest of the people of the State .
"If at all the faith of the people in the system is to be restored and all-round development in the Health sector is to be properly nurtured, there is a need for transparency in handling all matters of the State directly affecting the people and appointment of a person with impeccable track record is highly required," AMTU added.
