Imphal, August 02 2022:
The Manipur (Hill Areas) District Councils (Sixth Amendment) Bill 2022 and the Manipur (Hill Areas) District Councils (Seventh Amendment) Bill 2022 were tabled in the State Assembly on Tuesday.
As the day's sitting was drawing to a close, Tribal Affairs and Hills Minister Letpao Haokip introduced the two amendment Bills in the State Assembly.
Notably, La Ganesan issued an order yesterday whereby the Manipur Legislative Assembly was recommended to consider the Manipur (Hill Areas) District Council (Sixth Amendment) Bill 2022 in the House.
On the other hand, the All Tribal Students' Union Manipur (ATSUM) has been demanding the State Government to table and pass the Manipur (Hill Areas) Autonomous District Councils Bill 2021 .
The Bill was recommended to the State Government by the State Assembly's Hill Areas Committee (HAC) on August 16 last year but it was never tabled in the State Assembly.
