Imphal, August 17 2016:
The proscribed Manipur Naga People's Front (MNPF) has today said that it will start monitoring the development works executed by contractors in order to strengthen the development in hill areas, particularly in the Naga inhabited areas of Manipur.
"Through newspapers it is informed to all the general public to lodge complaints to the MNPF for the works which are neglected by the contractors," MNPF said in a statement.
According to MNPF, for the last 20 years 90 percent of the development works of the hill areas particularly in the Naga areas have been "spoiled" by NSCN(IM).
"It is very unfortunate on the part of Manipur Government accepting the NSCN (IM) recommendations to award any work order.
It is questionable, that the government of Manipur is under NSCN (IM)," the outfit said.
It warned the contractors not to take any NSCN (IM) recommendation to award the work agency.
"Any contractor who approach or award the work order through the NSCN (IM) recommendation will be dealt with serious punishment," the statement said.
The MNPF further appealed to all the civil society organizations and the general public not to misunderstand MNPF when it takes action on such contractors.
