Tamenglong, September 09 2015 :
The oath-taking ceremony of Tamenglong Autonomous District Council (ADC) Chairman was held at ADC Complex, Tamenglong Headquarters on Wednesday despite the State Government's order on deferring the installation of ADC in Tamenglong.
Elected members Namsinrei Pamei and Lamlaba of Democratic Alliance of Tamenglong have been elected as Chairman and Vice Chairman respectively.
Leaders and supporters who came to attend the formation of the ADC expressed anger and dismay when the Government order was read out by the Deputy Commissioner (DC) Tamenglong.
DC M Luikham requested the elected ADC members to "calm down and wait for the next appointment date." The elected members strongly reacted against the postponement of the formation and stated that it was an insult to the elected members and people of Tamenglong.
Out of 24 members, only 15 elected members attended the oath-taking ceremony of the Chairman.
Minutes after the ceremony, Namsinrei Pamei was felicitated in the ADC conference hall.
Meanwhile, during a press meet, NPF Manipur Unit President Awangbou Newmai exhorted the elected members to think about the interest of the tribal communities in the district.
