Imphal, March 20 2024:
The Sulam Business Association (SBA) and Unique Business Association (UBA), both Chandel based, have urged the Government not to appoint or send a non-local as the Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) of Chandel district.
In a joint statement, SBA and UBA demanded that the transfer order of February 6 which named a non local as the DFO of Chandel should be withdrawn.
Saying that a native of Manipur who is well acquainted with local knowledge should be appointed as the Chandel DFO, SBA and UBA said that this is the second time they are serving an ultimatum to cancel the transfer order.
Continuing that they will stand steadfast against the appointment of a non local as the Chandel DFO, the two associations cautioned that they will carry out different types of agitation including bandh and blockade if their demand is not entertained.
They urged the Government to do the needful.
