Imphal, September 27 2018:
ATRPFM has petitioned the Governor for simultaneous conduction the elections for the posts of ADC Chairman in respect of Chandel, Churachandpur and Senapati.
The petitioned also urged the Governor to allow ample time to the intending candidates for nomination of their candidatures, said a statement of general secretary ATRPFM James Haokip today.
"We fully support and appreciate the BJP Government led by N Biren Singh, but unfortunately the functioning of ADCs under the present Government has never been smooth.
The conflicts among the parties for holding the post of Chairman has immensely hampered the working of ADCs thereby they have not extended any services to the public at the grass root level which is the sole objective of setting up ADCs.
No actual benefits have been given to the public through ADCs under the present Government," the petition said.
The petition mentioned that the election for Chandel ADC is fixed on September 29 at ADC Bhavan, Chingmeirong, Imphal by an order dated September 25 .
The time given for filing the nomination is too short, and the election is supposed to be conducted at ADC Bhavan, District HQs, not at Imphal.
And, the election for Chairmen of ADC Churachandpur and ADC Chandel should be conducted on the same day, it said.
It requested the conduction of the elections at respective ADC Bhavans.
