Imphal, July 27 2016:
In order to ease the hardships faced by people of Saikul and Island areas of Sadar Hills due to the functioning of the SDO Saikul and SDO Island from Khurai in Imphal East district, Sadar Hills ADC Members and chiefs of the area resolved to make the SDO offices functional from their respective headquarters within this month.
Chairman and Members of Sadar Hills ADC, village chiefs, civil society organisation leaders and SDOs concerned held a meeting at Kuki Inn in this connection on July 22 last.
Taking note of the hardship faced by the people concerned in obtaining documents and implementation of development schemes due to the functioning of the SDO offices from Khurai, the meeting resolved to make the offices functional from their respective headquarters within this month.
At the same time, Haokholal Hangshing, Chairman of ADC Sadar Hills appealed to all concerned to extend maximum cooperation in the efforts to make the SDO offices functional from their respective headquarters.
It may be mentioned that the office of SDO Saikul was burned down some times back during public agitation.
Since then, the office is run from Khurai.
The SDO of Island started functioning from Khurai due to various reasons like non-appointment/absence of staff at the headquarters.
