CCpur, February 04 2023:
The Zomi Chiefs Association GHQ and Guite Kual Chiefs Association have called on the authorities concerned to immediately revert back the ADC Guite Kual to its original name.
The associations stated that renaming the ADC by shedding the nomenclature that is so dear to the local people will be opposed tooth and nail until they get it back.
The Additional Deputy Commissioner Guite Kual was created vide a Gazette Order, dated January 7, 2022 by the State Government following the re-amalgamation of Thanlon AC to Churachandpur District.
The move was warmly received by the public, their leaders and the chiefs.
However, to their utter surprise a new Gazette, dated October 7, 2022 surfaced two days back on social media which purportedly re-name the ADC Guite as ADC Mualnuam, without the knowledge, consent or consultation of the local populace and their representatives.
The move stunned and angered the people of Guite Kual.
The chiefs immediately summoned an emergency meeting today and intensely deliberated upon the issue.
The Chiefs of Guite Kual as well as The Zomi Chiefs Association have agreed to fight for their cause.
Accordingly, they enquired about the matter and concluded that the re-naming was allegedly instigated by some anti-social elements without any consideration for the wishes and sentiments of the people affected.
The joint meeting today strongly condemned such persons in the strongest terms and cautioned them to cease their unwarranted activities.
The associations also appealed to the authority concerned to immediately revert the ADC to its original, pristine glorious name- 'ADC Guite Kual' in public interest even as it pledges to leave no stone unturned to realize the same.
