Imphal, January 24 2013:
Representatives of the Autonomous District Coordination Committee today called on the Governor and highlighted their grievances.
The committee has been demanding separate budgetary allocation, more autonomy and adequate empowerment of ADCs.
Highlighting these demands, the ADC Members staged a protest demonstration at Chingmeirong ADC Bhavan on January 17 .
As decided earlier, the committee visited the Governor and highlighted their demands today as there was no response from the State Government even after the protest demonstration.
During the meeting with the Governor today, representatives of the committee conveyed that the ADCs have been literally abandoned by the State Government to the extent of denying any opportunity to talk about their grievances.
They urged the Governor to send a report to the Centre and also to make necessary recommendations to the State Government.
After listening to the complaints of the ADC Members, Governor Gurbachan Jagat reportedly assured them that he would do all he can do to address the issue.
