Imphal, January 10 2011:
All Tribal Chiefs and Public Grievances Forum, Chandel (ATCPGFC) has strongly decried Chandel Deputy Commissioner H Deelip for his alleged negligence and ignoring the people of the district in different development sectors.
The forum warned that it would take up democratic forms of agitation if the concerned authority fails to take up action against the DC .
In a press release issued by its General Secretary, the forum alleged that the DC has failed to materialise many issues despite repeated requests made to him.
The press release added, it is learned that the DC of Thoubal gave an intimation to DC Chandel on November 11, 2010 regarding the overlapping of some villagers of Chandel district and other districts.
Maintaining that it shouted for clarification in this regard the forum alleged that the DC had turned deaf ear to the issue.
The forum further alleged that Chiefs and Chairmen of different villages of the district were made to sign for wages of 10 days although the DC had promised in written that he would release MSDP, IAY, BRGF, BADP and watershed scheme funds and 30 days wages with material component before Christmas 2010 .
Notwithstanding this, wages for five days and material component for five days were released, it claimed.
The forum added that a whooping fund of Rs 418.96 lakhs was failed to release under MNREGS for the year upto 2010 due to the negligence of the DC .
