A month after the results of the ADC election were announced on June 10, twenty four newly elected members from Churachandpur were today sworn-in at the Council Hall here, reports our correspondent.
The swearing-in ceremony was administered by Deputy Commissioner, Lunminthang Haokip in the presence of the Superintendent of Police, Mannuamching, CEO, ADC, Churachandpur, and five SDOs/ROs.
Addressing the newly elected members, the DC called for development in the district.
Mannuamching also highlighted the current status of the ADC, its functions, the strength of its staff, its infrastructure and the departments it handles.
With most of the new members being elected on Independent tickets, Hill People Alliance (HPA), an alliance of 17 Independent members has staked claim to form the Council in Churachandpur.
The CEO has announced that a separate oath taking ceremony will be conducted for the two nominated members as they are yet to receive any recommendations from the State Government.
Of the 24 members sworn-in today, 18 were Independent candidates, one from BJP and 5 from the Congress.
