Imphal, July 25 2015 :
Ukhrul ADC chairman-designate Dr Yaronsho Ngalung flayed the State Government for the inordinate delay in formation of councils in the six ADCs even after the declaration of the election result one month ago.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club on Saturday, Yaronsho said that election was declared on June 11 and oath taking ceremony was conducted on July 13 and July 24 in district headquarters and Imphal.
However the Government has not officially notified or issued orders to form the councils till now.
He urged the Government to form the councils without further delay.
He further disclosed that elected members of Ukhrul ADC will support the Naga People's Front (NPF)'s proposed 24-hour total strike in the hill districts on July 27 to protest against the unexplained delay in the formation of councils.
Yaronsho also said that he will fight for the devolution of powers after the councils are formed with the cooperation of the committee and other ADC chairmen.
