Imphal, August 22 2021:
The Department of Tribal Affairs and Hills has clarified that it will take up all necessary steps to place The Manipur (Hill Areas) Autonomous District Council Bill, 2021 before the State Cabinet but requested the HAC to provide sufficient time to study the draft of the Bill.
In a clarification, Additional Chief Secretary (TA & Hills), said the Department has received an advance copy of the draft but as the Bill is a complex matter, it requires detailed examination and consultation with other relevant departments including the Law Department and the office of the AG and then it will be placed before the State Cabinet.
In light of this, the Dept sought time to follow due process of law before placing the matter before the State Assembly.
