Imphal, March 27 2023:
The IMC Elected Ward Members Forum has appealed to the State Government to hold the election of Imphal Municipal Corporation (IMC) Ward Members together with the urban local body election scheduled on June 5 .
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club today, the forum's secretary Elangbam Chandikumar said that the elected Ward Members have been totally dispirited by the way the Government has been sidelining them while Corporators who were elected on the same day with them have been given the position of caretakers.
He then appealed to the State Government to revive the Ward Development Committees at the earliest.
Pointing out that the IMC election is due for more than one year and a half, Chandikumar urged the Government to hold the IMC election together with the ULB election scheduled on June 5 .
He said that the elected Ward Members would launch a relay hunger strike from March 31 if their appeal goes unheeded.
