Felicitation programme of former chairman ADC-Ukhrul, Yaronsho Ngalung as caretaker chairman of Autonomous District Council of Ukhrul was held on Friday at ADC Office, Ukhrul.

Yaronsho Ngalung in his speech stated that “Excuse after excuse, the Manipur state government has failed to conduct ADC election. I still would like to appeal to the government to conduct ADC elections at the earliest looking at the greater interest of the hill people. I also appeal to my colleagues, former ADC members to kindly extend their continued support even in the days to come”.

He added that the ADC is the right body to decide the utilisation of funds sanctioned under the 15th Finance and not the government and we are not happy with the decision taken by the state government.

He also expressed gratitude to CEO ADC-Ukhrul for filling the vacuum and keeping the administration alive in spite of the absence of elected members.

He reiterated that the government must conduct ADC elections at the earliest if the COVID-19 situation improves.
