Imphal, August 12:
Tangkhul Naga Long, Tangkhul Shanao Long, Tangkhul Wungnao Long, Tangkhul Katamnao Saklong and Tangkhul Mayar Ngala Long have jointly appealed to the people of
Ukhrul district not to participate in the forthcoming Independence Day celebration as an expression of anger and displeasure against the alleged step-motherly
treatment meted out by the Chief Minister and the unruly behaviour of Deputy Commissioner, Ukhrul.
In a joint statement, the Tangkhul bodies decried the indifferent
attitude of the Chief Minister to the demand to transfer the Deputy Commissioner despite serving numerous memoranda and ultimatums highlighting the misdeeds of the
head of the district administration.
The joint statement alleged that during his posting at Ukhrul, several crores of rupees of Centrally sponsored schemes have been intentionally allowed to lapse.
