Imphal, September 30 2022:
An intending candidate for ward member of Mayang Imphal Municipal Council has raised suspicion of some individuals colluding with officials to deliberately relocate some families from one part to another in the recently published electoral roll for Municipal Council election.
Addressing a press meet at Manipur Press Club, here, on Friday, intending candidate Yanglem Yuhenba said that some families of Mayang Imphal MC ward no 5, who have been in Part 2 of the electoral roll of the ward were found shifted to Part 1 without any explanation or reason while moving some other families from Part 1 to 2 .
Yuhenba said that he has been preparing for the forthcoming election to contest as ward member of Ward No.5 Part 2 .
However, in the recent electoral roll, his family and many of his relatives have been enlisted in Part 1 rendering years of his preparation useless.
Terming it as a deliberate act against him by some individuals in collusion with officials concerned, he demanded the government and authority concerned to look into the matter and review the electoral roll.
