Imphal, November 01 2018:
Hmar Students' Association, General Headquarters has alleged that it has learned from a reliable source regarding that there is an attempt to shift the District Headquarters Office of Pherzawl district from Pherzawl village to some other Sub Divisional Headquarters and that the authorities concerned have been approached by some individuals and organizations with vested interest, with an excuse that the required infrastructure are not available at Pherzawl village.
A press release issued by the information and publicity department of the association today mentioned that the association takes the issue very seriously and objects and condemns the act in the strongest terms.
Pointing out that the association is in the process of identifying the involved parties, it added that it is ever ready to counter the alleged attempt to derail the proper functioning and development of Pherzawl district HQs tooth and nail.
The association assured the public that Pherzawl district is not meant for a particular tribe adding that it was created for the benefits of all those living in the area.
Building necessary infrastructure to run the administration of the district is the responsibility of the State Government.
The public and many civil society organisations had earlier made it clear that, if any need arises, they would provide residential buildings to house offices until the Government initiates the construction of all the infrastructure needs at Pherzawl, it narrated.
Stating that the office of the Deputy Commissioner as well as the SDO /BDO offices have been ready since a long time back, the association asked why the SDO/BDO offices are still not occupied in spite of the order from the Chief Secretary for immediate functioning.
The association also appealed to the district administration to take heed of the desire of the people of Pherzawl district to see the offices functioning at their proper places and the staff diligently attending offices.
It also urged the State Government not to play around with the development of the district by initiating any alternative arrangements or by initiating any game plan to derail the development of offices in designated headquarters in Pherzawl district.
It vehemently opposed any game plan to shift Pherzawl district HQs from Pherzawl village to any other place.
