Lamka, December 15 2011:
The Saikot sub-division demand committee has threaten to imposed an indefinite bandh in Churachandpur beginning December 19 if a concrete solution is not coming up before the onset of the State Assembly's winter session.
Alleging that a couple of memorandum have already submitted to the Chief Minister, the local representative have still fallen deaf and the area remained subjugate again.
Saikot was the only assembly constituency, out of six in the district, which not have a sub-division by its name.
Sidelined again in this year, the state cabinet decided to upgrade Tuibuong and Sangaikot TD block to the level of an SDO circle.
The committee also charged the local representative for politicising the upgradation.
Announcing their intention to take the extreme step of imposing bandh on this festive season, the committee maintained that they, nevertheless, delighted the backing of several tribal bodies in the district.
