Kangpokpi, February 03 2020:
The Kuki Students' Organization Sadar Hills, while strongly opposing the frequent transfer and posting of DC Kangpokpi, resolved not to accept transfer of DC for the next two years.
Thangminlen Kipgen, president KSO Sadar Hills said that ever since Kangpokpi District came into existence, the district has seen four Deputy Commissioners, which averages one DC every 10 months.
In other words, this attitude of the State Government towards Kangpokpi District means that it is least serious about the development of the district, he said.
Maintaining that the post of DC Kangpokpi has become a training ground for new promotees or a punishment post for others, he added that the denizens of Kangpokpi appreciate the efforts made by the past DCs to uplift the district during their short tenure.
He also said that it takes time for a new administrator to acquaint himself/herself to the social and political set up of the district and by the time he/she adapts to the intricate issues of the district, all the hard work and effort put up by them is washed away by a simple transfer order issued by the Government.
He further said that CSOs of the district and the general public have always been very cooperative to the district administration but this patience of the public must not be tested.
Besides the post of Deputy Commissioner, other important posts like those of SP, SDO/BDO, Medical Officers, and heads of various departments must be given their due tenure of posting, he said and urged the State Government to start showing their seriousness for the upliftment of the district.
