Jiribam, October 07 2014:
The Manipur Alliance for Child Rights, Churachandpur Chapter (MACR-CC) has expressed strong exception to the transfer of PK Jha, IAS, barely eight months after taking charge as the Deputy Commissioner of Churachandpur district.
A press handout, jointly signed by Alex LM Guite, Information and Publicity Secretary and Dr Nicky Thanga, Convener of MACR-CC, said that Churachandpur district had been blessed with a sincere and righteous IAS officer like PK Jha.
However, the DC was recently transferred by a government order.
MACR-CC has appealed to the Government to stay the transfer order of the DC in the interest of people of Churachandpur.
The General Secretary of Manipur Tribal Council (MTC) Lalpu Hangshing also asked why a dynamic and pragmatic administrator was been abruptly transferred when other DCs are allowed to cross all limits with political patronage.
A government official, on condition of anonymity alleged that the DC was made the sacrificial lamb due to his action of not releasing money to sub-standard workers connected with a politician.
