Imphal, November 03 2014:
Expressing shock over the construction of godowns at the temporary market of Khwairamband Keithel which were demolished yesterday, the Opposition party of Imphal Municipal Council (IMC) today said the Chairperson along with the ruling councillors should be held responsible for the illegal construction.
Addressing media persons today at the IMC's Opposition Room, leader of Opposition Nameirakpam Raghumani said none of the councillors from the Opposition bench are involved in the construction of illegal markets in Khwairamband Keithel.
He said that Chairperson of IMC, Vice-chairperson and councillors of the ruling party should be held responsible for the illegal act.
Accusing them of manipulating the office of IMC, Raghumani also pointed out that some committees have also monopolised the IMC's properties.
He recalled that a no trust motion was moved against the chairperson on August 9 this year for his alleged misconduct.
Accusing the Chairperson of nepotism even in petty matters like issuing and cancelling parking orders, Raghumani said the Council could not gather specified income due to such practices.
Meanwhile, the cease work strike to demand implementation of 6th Pay Commission for IMC staff has resumed from today.
