Imphal, February 04 2015:
Naga People's Front, Ukhrul area unit has expressed resentment against the prolonged absence of Executive Engineer, Public Health Engineering Department, Ukhrul E Nigaunja Singh from his office, according to a statement issued by the president of NPF Ukhrul area unit.
Niguanja Singh assumed office as EE in-charge in 2014.However, so far he has not visited any construction site to inspect the developmental programmes undertaken by the PHED, the statement said.
"Since maintenance work has not been initiated, water pipelines which are in bad condition has resulted in wastage of water in many areas of the district.
It is unfortunate that despite repeated appeals, the head of the PHED chose to work at his comfort from his residence," the statement said.
Accusing the staff of the department of neglecting their duties in the absence of Niguanja Singh, it further said that people of Ukhrul town and surrounding places are facing scarcity of water.
NPF Ukhrul further warned of intense agitation in case the authority concerned fails to look into the matter.
