Imphal, March 23, 2013:
The Central Dairy Plant Employees' Association (CDPEA), Porompat has urged the authorities concerned to resolve the standoff between Board of Administrators (BOAs) of Manipur Milk Producers' Cooperative Union Ltd (Milk Union) and newly nominated Managing Director of the Union, Dr Ph Jilasana Sharma.
In a press conference held in this regard, CDPEA Secretary Thongam Achou said, Veterinary Department Joint Director Dr Jilasana has been recently nominated by the State Government as the new Managing Director of the Manipur Milk Union.
Th Achou expressed concern over denial to Dr Jilasana's nomination as an MD by the Board of Administra-tors of Manipur Milk Union although Jilasana is a well qualified officer having sufficient experience in the field as per the bye-laws of the Manipur Milk Union.
He also opined that the Managing Director of the Union must come on deputation only from the Veterinary Department as the Union is not in a sound financial position to appoint an independent MD at present.
Th Achou also observed that the profession of dairying would suffer if the prevailing situation persists at the Milk Union.
