Imphal, October 06 2015:
The United People's Forum, Tamenglong district has decried the appointment of O Nabakishore as the Chief Secretary by the State Govt in supersession of a much senior tribal IAS officer.
Although Ameising Luikham, a 1982 IAS batch of MT cadre, is supposed to become the CS of Manipur, the State Govt appointed a junior IAS officer to the post by passing norms and practices, a statement issued by the general secretary of UPF, Tamenglong, Remoikung Chiru said.
Saying that this is not the first instance when tribal officers have been overlooked in the promotion line, the UPF said and urged all right thinking citizens of the State to look into the practice so that the hill-valley divide is not widened any further.
The UPF demanded immediate rectification of the order and justice to Ameising Luikham.
