Imphal, December 28 2022:
Expressing concern over the non-functioning of Gram Panchayats (GPs), Toubul Welfare Association (TWA) has appealed to the government to appoint administrators or form administrative committees to ensure uninterrupted operation of the rural local self-government bodies.
Addressing a press meet at Manipur Press Club, here, on Wednesday, TWA secretary Th Bir pointed out that the last Panchayat election was held in 2017 and the term ended in October this year.
However, as there is no indication of the government holding the election anytime soon it is imminent that the rural local self-government bodies would remain in dormancy and consequently affect delivery of services to the people.
Taking serious note of the evolving situation, he drew attention of the government for taking up necessary interim measures to make the GPs functional until the election is conducted.
