Imphal, February 24 2020:
All Tribal Rights Protection Forum Manipur (ATRPFM) has urged all concerned to conduct ADC election in April or May 2020 .
In this regard, a press release issued by ATRPFM said that the election of ADC, 2020 is to be held in the month of June or earlier, where landslide and roadblock are frequent.
Hill Areas Committee (HAC), Manipur Legislative Assembly, secretariat in its meeting held on January 16, 2020, has resolved and recommended to the State Election Commission for conducting the said election, preferably in November which is not a convenient season for the cultivators of the hill people, continued the statement.
Stating that November is a harvesting session for the hill people and the voters will face extreme hardship in participating the election due to constraint of time, the forum urged the authorities concerned to take necessary action and make sure that the election is conducted in April or May 2020."We shall be compelled to take up our own course of action if the demand is not entertained, it added.
