Imphal, November 05 2012:
Even as the 48 hours called by four apex bodies of Chandel district is in progress, the Chandel Naga Peoples Organisation (CNPO) has urged both (Chandel chiefs', students' bodies and EE DRDA) to sit together to solve the matter.
Making its stand clear that the CNPO does not side with the bandh sponsors or L Sharatchandra, EE, DRDA, Chandel, the CNPO in a statement signed by its president Gabriel Chinir said the DC's letter seeking clarification over the matter from the Government seems to cut the middle path in solving the matter.
It further urged that schools and educational institutes, business sector and other essential services be totally kept outside the purview of the bandh.
Conveying that it is the prerogative of the Government to remove the EE of DRDA or stay him back, the CNPO made it clear that as the EE of DRDA, Chandel, Sharatchandra should serve the people honestly.
Stating that harvesting and school examinations season is at hand and the welfare and convenience of the people being the concerned of the CNPO, the statement urged both parties to sit together to solve the matter if at all it can be done within their level.
