Imphal, November 05 2012:
With internal differences coming out in the open, 11 councillors of Imphal Municipal Council (IMC) have moved a No Confidence Motion against its Chairperson N Raghumani.
The 11 councilors, who have moved the No Confidence Motion against the Chairperson under section 30 of Manipur Municipalities Act 1994/1996 through the Executive Officer, are A Nimai of ward no.18, M Subashchandra of ward no.16, L Arunkumar of ward no.4, Ksh Umesh of ward no.21, S Rita of ward no.14, RK Bimolini of ward no.17, Th Purnachandra of ward no 2, H Nutanchandra of ward no.3, Birjit Lousambam of ward no.23, Y Ratikanta of ward no.19 and Ph Praneshwari of ward no.6 .
Addressing media persons at Hotel Classic today in this regard, A Nimai alleged that the present Chairperson has been indulging in certain works of IMC without the House approval.
As a result, all the members and councilors of IMC have to face all sorts of problems.
Although the State Cabinet has recommended upgradation of IMC into a Corporation, the Chairperson has never tried to arrange necessary requirements for the upgradation.
Moreover, failure of furnishing the Detail Project Report (DPR) last year by the Chairperson led to a loss of Rs 26 crore project which has been later taken over by Thoubal Municipal Council, Nimai said, adding that the DPR for this year too has not yet been furnished so far.
Maisnam Subashchandra, who was also present at the press conference, stated that although there is provision only for 9 members out of the total 27 Councillors to move a No Confidence, the motion was moved by 11 Councilors today to show that more than 9 Councilors are supporting the motion.
