Imphal, May 13 2009:
Th District Level Development Coordinating Team (DCT) Federation of Tamenglong district has warned of launching an indefinite blockade along the National Highway-53 very soon if the State Government does not fulfil the genuine demands of the Federation at the earliest, reports our Jiribam correspondent.
The demands of the Federation include to make the health centre of the sub-division function and to vacate the BSF personnel from occupying the PHC of Oinamlong.
In a press handout, president of the Federation P Damsuak lamented that even after 61 years of India's independence, the condition of the people in Tousem sub-division of Tamenglong district can be said to be still in stone age due to the apathy of theState Government.
He also said that the people of this backward sub-division are surviving at the mercy of God.
Damsuak informed that there is not a single doctor, nurse or even a tablet of medicine in all the health centres of the sub-division.
He has also sought the co-operation of all section of the people during the proposed blockade.
