Zeliangrong Youth Front appeals

Tamenglong, February 19 2016 :
Following the allegations against Tamenglong DC M Luikham
made by some local organisations, the Zeliangrong Youth Front
has appealed to all the individual to refrain from issuing manipulative propaganda in public domain which may tarnish the image
of Zeliangrong people.
In a statement, ZYF said that an organisation christened
as "Joint Frontal Development Organisation Tamenglong"
has alleged that DC M Luikham had declined to co-operate
in the proposed construction of a market shed in the district
HQs.
It has been found that there is no such plan under the
North Eastern Council (NEC) for market construction.
Construction of sub-divisional level tribal market complex,
as per the decision taken during the NEC meeting on No-
vember 2015 at Shillong, is to be executed by the Tribal
Development.
Allegation levelled against the DC regarding
the matter is baseless, ZYF said in a statement.
The statement further said that allegation against the DC
in regard with the hardship faced by students in obtaining
tribe certificates is unfounded as the SDOs/SDMs con-
cerned can issue the same after verification.
Lack of administrative transparency among the subordi-
nate officials as alleged by the organisation can highlighted
to concerned authority in accordance to the specific rules
and procedures laid down for the Government employees,
ZYF said.
Though the DC is the head of the district admin-
istration, he is not the sole authority to initiate any step
without adhering to the guidelines and rules while selecting
a site for any developmental project, the statement said.
ZYF further urged the responsible people not to mislead
the general public whenever their interest is not served.
Such misleading information cast the populace of
Tamenglong in a bad light.
Let the Zeliangrong apex body
be informed of any public grievance for effective enforce-
ment and also to prevent unnecessary problems.
Issuing
irresponsible and manipulative propaganda in public domain
will not be tolerated.
