In protest against the failure of Deputy Commissioner to keep his assurance to put into action all proposed development programmes of the district, the All Tribal Chiefs and Public Grievances Forum Chandel has decided to boycott the Republic Day celebrations scheduled to be held at Chandel district headquarters.
According to a press release jointly signed by the forum's president SNG Lumdil and secretary DK Solomon, the decision to boycott Republic Day celebrations was adopted during a meeting of the forum's emergency central executive meeting held yesterday in the office of the Maha Area Chiefs' Association.
They accused the Chandel DC of denying development programmes to the people of Chandel district.
