Imphal, July 02
Indigenous Democratic Front (IDF) today apprised Chief Minister O Ibobi to hold elections to the Autonomous District Council (ADC) in the Manipur hills at the earliest.
In a missive to the Chief Minister submitted in the form of a representation which was also made available to Newmai News Network, the IDF stated in it that the Front had “successfully interacted with the tribal populace of the five hill districts in its whirl-wind campaign trail where it had held brain storming sessions in every district headquarters.
“From the interactions we are now convinced beyond a shadow of doubt that the tribal people in Manipur want early elections to the Autonomous District Councils (ADC) and also that, taking into account the acute shortage of teachers under Autonomous District Councils and the felt need of quality education, it is appealed that immediate appointment of teachers under ADC be made in the greater interest of the public,” was the intimated message of the Indigenous Democratic Front to the chief minister of Manipur today.
The IDF missive to the Chief Minister also stated, " And whereas, the tribal people in Manipur desire early elections to the ADCs, the IDF therefore, requests your government to bring forth a concrete decision in this regard in the ensuing Manipur state legislative assembly scheduled to be held from July 3, 2009."
