Kangpokpi, February 25 2019:
Peeved over the proposed felicitation programme for meritorious students from Senapati and Kangpokpi district under the banner "Beti Bachao Beti Padhao", which is to be organized by DPO Kangpokpi/Senapati at Senapati District Headquarters, the Kuki Students' Organization (KSO) Sadar Hills has strongly condemned the proposed programme and urged the concerned authority not to take the issue lightly.
KSO Sadar Hills president, Thangminlen Kipgen said that a felicitation programme for meritorious students from Kangpokpi and Senapati district is proposed to be organized at Senapati DHQs by DPO Kangpokpi/Senapati on March 8 under the banner "Beti Bachao Beti Padhao".
Being a full-fledged district and having its own ICDS Cell, Kangpokpi District Administration must ensure that such programme are organized within its own district, he said and added that DC Kangpokpi had put up the matter to the concerned department and Ministry but to no avail.
Saying that dual role of DPO Kangpokpi and Senapati held by one individual is causing inconvenience to the ICDS Kangpokpi staff and general public of the district, he added that the local MLA, who is also the concerned Minister of ICDS Department, must ensure that ICDS Kangpokpi Cell have a separate DPO to avoid such inconvenience.
He further said that the issue was discussed with ICDS Kangpokpi led by its DPO Mirinda Zimik and CDPO Buddhachandra but they explained their helplessness regarding the issue.
The KSO Sadar Hills chief stated that if the issue is not address urgently, KSO Sadar Hills would ensure that no ICDS staffs of Kangpokpi attend the programme on March 8 at Senapati.
