Upset over frequent transfer and posting of Deputy Commissioner of Tengnoupal District, Kuki Students Organisation (KSO) of the district on Friday threatened to impose blockade on Moreh to Imphal road indefinitely from 6 am of Monday.
Since its inception in 2016, Tengnoupal District has seen the change of DC nine times in just six years. This frequent transfer and posting of the DC are a hindrance to the development of the district, said KSO in a statement.
The students’ body mentioned that a Memorandum had already been submitted to Governor of Manipur La Ganesan on his maiden visit 25th Oct 2021to Tengnoupal on the issue during an interaction programme held at Tengnoupal Community Hall with all chiefs of village and CSOs of the district.
It maintained that the issue was raised to the government and its representatives on various occasions. Most recently, Kuki Chiefs’ Association (KCA) and other CSO of Tengnoupal District raised the issue to the Health Minister on 31st May 2022 taking the opportunity of his presence in an interaction programme of the Prime Minister with beneficiaries of various schemes/programmes of the Government of India through virtual mode at Tengnoupal Community Hall, it added.
Despite these repeated requests and memorandum, the state government has issued an order of transfer and posting of DC on 31st May 2022 midnight, it lamented.
The KSO demanded the Government of Manipur to withdraw its decision or reach an agreement with CSO of Tengnoupal District within two days failing which the KSO would spearhead various forms of agitation, including blocking of Moreh to Imphal road indefinitely, it said.
