Imphal, September 09:
Endorsing the demand for conversion of Sadar Hills into a full fledged revenue district, the Sadar Hills District Congress Committee remarked that the demand is aimed at administrative convenience and balanced growth and development of all communities in the proposed district.
While observing that the long standing demand is legitimate and justified, the DCC Sadar Hills conveyed their ardent desire to upgrade Sadar Hills to a revenue district within a short period of time.
A press release issued by the Committee stated that there have been many Cabinet decisions, agreements, promises and assurances to fulfil the people's demand though nothing positive came of it.
Even as there was proposal for creation of Sadar Hills at par with other districts like Thoubal, Bishnupur and Imphal East, Sadar Hills was sidelined while the other districts have been realised, it asserted.
In connection with the issue of Sadar Hills, the DCC called on the Chief Minister yesterday and submitted a memorandum urging to fulfil the decades old aspiration of Sadar Hills people, conveyed the release.
For the last many years, the Sadar Hills District Committee has been urging the Government to upgrade Sadar Hills into a full fledged revenue district.
