Imphal, October 06 2017:
Tamenglong and Noney Districts Citizens' Welfare Forum has announced its decision to impose a blockade along NH-37 on October 11 from 6 am to 6 pm to protest the Govt's indifferent attitude to the 'non-functioning' of ADC, Tamenglong .
Addressing a press meet today at Manipur Press Club, president of TNDCWF, Rangam Thoitak said that the forum had apprised the CM about the non-functioning of Tamenglong ADC on Sept 24.It also served an ultimatum to the Govt to make the ADC functional before October 5.As no response has been coming from the Govt’s side even after the expiry of the Oct 5 deadline, the Forum has decided to impose blockade along NH-37 from 6 am to 6 pm of October 11 to protest the disinterest of the State Govt to reactivate ADC, Tamenglong .
Rangam further said that people of the two districts face several problems like fuel adulteration, LPG shortage in Tamei-Tousem block, bad roads etc in the absence of a fully functional ADC .
Further courses of agitation would be launched after this if the demand is not met, he warned.
