Ban on govt vehicles over Guite Road impasse

Churachandpur, Jul 27 : As part of their intensified agitation demanding the handing over of construction works for Guite Road to the BRO from the state government, the Zomi Students` Federation has from Monday imposed a ban on the movement of all government vehicles excepting those engaged in fire services, sanitation and for that matter sanitary trucks and medical services.

The ZSF have till date imposed a boycott on the PWD department, banned all works undertaken by the department and snatched the keys of two JCBs engaged in taking up works along the Guite Road.

The ZSF had also called a 24- hour bandh in Churachandpur district on July 20 during which they burned the effigies of the state chief minister O Ibobi Singh and works minister K Ranjit Singh.

Speaking to the press later today, the ZSF president Kapkhanmuan said he was totally disappointed over the government failure to handover the road construction of Guite Road to the BRO in spite of the fact that it was approved earlier on September 2006 at a high power meeting with the chief minister in the chair.

He said though the BRO officials had given their approval for take over of the works the manner in which the state government responded would never be acceptable to one and all.

Calling all concerned to extend all the necessary support for the sake of development through road connectivity he warned everyone, particularly officials, not to violate the boycott call.

S Singlianmang Guite


Churachandpur, February 19: Accusing the Social Welfare Minister N Loken of adopting favouritism in appointing the ICDS programme officer in the district, Zomi Students Federation today said it resolved to boycott the concern Minister and the opening programme of Vangai Range ICDS project office on February 19 .

To fight against the culture and tradition of favoritism following the Ministers disregard for its request for an eligible person from the district to shoulder the responsibility of the DPO after the imbroglio arising out of it, ZSF said it has no other option but to resolve to boycott the concerned Minister.

The federation also warned an officer identified as one Ranjana Mayum of claiming the responsibility as she already had held the post in Imphal West and East.

Any untoward incident that befell on her following her resumption to the said post will be only on her invitation and the federation could not be held responsible for it, said the ZSF.

It also called on the concerned contractors for immediate completion of the task entrusted to them along the Lamka, Singngat Sinzawl road even as it urged upon the concerned officials to pressurize the said contractors with the threat of withholding their bills.

Besides it urged upon the two top Ministers from the district to look into the matter of no equal supply of power but equal tariff and the misadventure in arranging portable drinking water to the public against the back drop of the availability of excess resources at Khuga Dam.

In these regards the federation will not hesitate to take any actions if the Government fails to give any response or action it said.
