Imphal, July 14 2017:
The All Manipur Ningthoukhong Peoples'Welfare Association (AMNPWA) has questioned the State Government's motive behind the transfer of Chief Secretary O Nabakishore and has demanded the authority concerned to clarify the reasons behind the action.
A press release issued by the president of the association alleged that a news item on ISTV, dated July 9, possibly hinting at the transfer of O Nabakishore from the post of Chief Secretary to facilitate easier investigation regarding unethical process concerning MDS, has created confusion in the mind of the people.
Expressing disappointment with the State Government's decision, it questioned if the authority concerned cannot transfer O Nabakishore to the post of Special Chief Secretary similar to States like Telangana.
It further clarified that the association does not condemn the transfer but is disappointed with the degradation in the post alloted to Nabakishore and the unclarified rumours surrounding the drastic action.
Meanwhile the Thangmeiband Lairenhanjaba Maning Leikai Meira Paibi Lup organised a sit-in-protest at the locality today to protest the decision of the State Government to transfer Nabakishore from the post of Chief Secretary.
If Nabakishore is not reinstated as the Chief Secretary then different course of protest agitation will be launched said participants of the sit-in-protest.
