Imphal, October 19 2017:
Alleging undue discrimination and unscrupulous procedures in CAF&PD including the Weight & Measures Department jeopardizing future of the State, Tangkhul Katamnao Long Imphal (TKLI) contended that the then Assistant Controller, Weight & Measures Department AS Peter Shitsangmi posted at Ukhrul has been declared against the vacancy of Drawing & Disbursement Officer (DDO) and Head of Department (HOD) of the Department by an order issued on March 7 last .
According to a press release of TKLI, barely a month later another order was issued by Commissioner (CAF&PD) superseding all the previous order declaring Ranjan Yumnam, Deputy Secretary (CAF&PD) and also Controller, Weight & Measures Department as DDO and HOD of the Department even as there was no vacancy of the post .
This has led to the confiscation of AS Peter's post and protocols contravening all existing laws and rules leaving him in a most embarrassing position and bizarre condition, it said .
The tribal body termed such actions as not only hurting and confiscating of personal and service rights but rather as a grave offence of racial discrimination against the tribal of the State .
Unless the grave injustice is redressed and rectified in a prompt manner, their office should hold the concerned authority responsible for challenging the rules and jeopardizing the norms and should take the matter to the Court for justice, it made it clear .
TKLI urged the CAF&PD Minister to do the needful by reinstating AS Peter to his rightful position and punish the unscrupulous official who committed the grievances.
