Imphal, August 03 2009:
IDF has appealed the Hill Areas Committee (HAC) to bring a solution that may pave the way for holding Autonomous District Council (ADC) elections in interest of the indigenous people who are suffering for the last 20 years, reports our Ukhrul correspondent.
Talking to The Sangai Express, president IDF, Ngachonmi Chamroy stated that despite organization's fervent appraisal through series of democratic form of agitation recently and its positive response witnessed by the people who are all waiting for the early ADC election, the same are still derailed by the authority though it has been already granted by the Centre.
The Govt and HAC are still reluctant to announce citing unnecessary technicalities, he said.
Chamroy said that decentralization of power through ADC to the tribal people or indigenous people of the State is a constitutional right.
