The Tangkhul Katamnao Saklong (TKS), while alleging racial discrimination in matters of promotion and posting in several Government departments, has resolved to take up the issue of HS Verypam, Chief Engineer PHED who has been arbitrarily attached as the OSD to Commissioner PHE.
HS Verypam, the seniormost and the only eligible engineer to occupy the post of Chief Engineer is an exceptional case of racial discrimination, said a press release issued by TKS.
It alleged that HS Verypam has been subjected to political and racial victimization in the hands of the Congress led SPF Government.
Verypam assumed his duty as Chief Engineer on February 2009.However without citing substantive reasons, the service of the most eligible engineer was attached to the post of OSD to Commissioner PHE by an order dated October 5, 2009 .
He is still retained as OSD.
Reposing faith in the Chief Minister that his wisdom would prevail and immediately acted upon the instruction (UO.
No 1/46/2009-CM) for repatriation of HS Verypam i/c Chief Engineer, PHED to his parent department, and get it done positively, the TKS cautioned that it would take recourse to various forms of democratic campaign until justice is delivered if the Government fails to redress the issue in time.
