Imphal, November 29 2021:
Tribal Market Vendors Association (TMVA) president Rebecca Lupheng has alleged Department of Tribal Affairs and Hills director is not following the guidelines on tribal markets issued by the government as per the order of High Court of Manipur, but doing things as per his whims.
Addressing the media at Manipur Press Club on Monday, TMVA president Rebecca Lupheng contended that it has been a long practice of Department of TA&H director and officers to do things according to their wish with scant regard to rules and regulations.
In view of this, the Association had filed a case in the High Court of Manipur, after which the government framed guidelines for implementation in tribal markets on the instruction of the High Court, she noted.
Rebecca further claimed that instead of following the guidelines the TA&H director is tweaking them and acting contradictory to the guidelines.
Such act is not acceptable to the Association as well tribal vendors, she said and urged the higher authorities to look into the matter.
