Imphal, August 17 2014:
Taking strong exception to the government's order of renaming Tribal Affairs (TA) & Hills Department as Directorate of Tribal Affairs Hills & Schedule Caste by amalgamating Schedule Caste with Schedule Tribe, Tribal Youth Council Manipur (TYCM) has demanded revocation of said order with immediate effect failing which it will initiate public mass campaign in the hill districts.
In a statement, the TYCM termed the order as absurd and violation of Manipur (Hill Areas) District Council (Third Amendment) Act 2008, and said that the State Cabinet or even the Parliament are not the legitimate authority to deal with the subject matter without taking the confidence of Hill Areas Committee (HAC) .
Stating that the style of administration by some bureaucrats of the State is fraud in nature, the Council appealed to Governor to intervene into the matter before any untoward incident arises.
