Imphal, March 06 2020:
All Tribal Rights Protection Forum Mimipur (ATRPFM) has condemned the State Government's approval to postpone the ADC election as recommended by Hill Area Committee.
Speaking to media persons today, president of the forum stated that the ADC tenure is five years and recommending the State Government to postpone the election by citing rainy season as the reason is unfortunate.
Meanwhile, it is condemnable that the State Government has also accepted the recommendation without giving any room for discussion.
Saying that no suggestions were sought from the public regarding the postponement, he questioned the intention of the Government for not considering the hill people when the election is for ADC, which is meant for the welfare of the public.
He urged the State Government to review the decision of the Cabinet meeting held on March 3 and conduct the election within May/June while cautioning that the Hill Area Committee will also be boycotted if the election is not held within the stipulated time.
