Imphal, November 01 2018: The Hmar Students' Association, General Headquarter strongly object any move to shift the the District Headquaters Office of Pherzawl District from Pherzawl Village to some other Sub Divisional Headquarters.

A statement of the association said that , a reliable sources stated that there is an attempt to shift the District Headquaters Office of Pherzawl District.

The association said that concerned authorities have been approached by some vested interest individuals and Organizations with an excuse that the required infrastructures are not available at Pherzawl Village.

Taking the plot seriously, the Hmar Students' Association General Hqrs, stated that the body strongly objects and condemns the intolerable initiative.

"The HSA is in the process of identifying the particular individuals or organizations and ever ready to counter the attempt tooth and nail and cautions any who try to derail the proper functioning and development of Pherzawl District office hqrs not to try it's patience", a statement said.

The Student Body wants to assure the public that Pherzawl District is not meant for a particular tribe.

It is created for the benefits of all living in the area.

Building necessary infrastructures to run the administration of the District is the responsibility of the State government.

The general public and many civil society organisations had earlier made it clear that, if there is the need they would provide residential buildings to house offices until the government initiates the construction of all the infrastructural needs at Pherzawl.

It may be also noted that the office of the Deputy Commissioner as well as SDO /BDO offices has been ready since long.

This Student Organization invites all to approach the government in order that all necessary infrastructures may be set up immediately at Pherzawl Village for the smooth functioning of the District Office.

It is to be wondered why the SDO /BDO offices are still not occupied in spite of the order from the Chief Secretary for immediate functioning.

The Chief Secretary had issued an order vide order no 1/1/ 2018 - CS (Manipur) on 25th January 2018 that while the government is reviewing the infrastructural requirements the SDO /BDO should be at their respective hqrs at all times to discharge their duties and that they should utilise public or private infrastructures for the purpose.

The HSA wonders why the order has not been heeded till date.

The HSA also appeals to the District Administration to take heed of the Pherzawl District people 's desire to see the offices functioning at their proper places and the staff deligently attending offices.

The HSA also calls upon the State Government not to play with the development of the district by initiating any alternative arrangements or by entering into any game plan to derail the development of offices in designated headquarters in Pherzawl District.

The HSA firmly believes that it is much easier to develope the existing office headquarters at their present locations than to run office camps in other places.

The HSA also vehemently opposes any game plan to shift the Pherzawl District Hqrs from Pherzawl village to any other place and calls to all sections of the people in Pherzawl District not to succumb to the petty politics that is being played by some individuals and Organizations.
