Our Correspondent
UKHRUL, Sep 20: Tang-khul CSOs staged a protest at Gandhi Chowk in Ukhrul today against non-tabling of ADC Bill 2021.
More than 100 people who had come from different areas of Ukhrul gathered at Gandhi Chowk which was attended by Somatai Machinao, president TMNL; Veronica Zingkhai, president TSL; Shimri Raising, president TKS and Advocate Sira Kharay, amongst others.
Speaking at the protest, Somatai Machinao said even though the Central Government gives State resources for welfare of the State, the resources are not reaching the hills, the developmental works in the hills are close to none.
He alleged that the action of the Government implies that they don't care about the development.
Reiterating that the demands of the people are under the ambit of the Constitution, Sira Kharay appealed to the community leaders to stop playing party politics and stand together in the demand to save the hills.
Slogans including 'Equality in Hills and Valley', 'Long live Tribal's Unity', 'No one is above the Constitution' were raised during the protest.
In conclusion, Kharay said that the world is led by politicians but we are different. It is time we stand in unity; it is such a time that the politician cannot be trusted. We should take decisions today to vote wisely and boycott or recall those who try to bribe or buy votes by contract or scheme. We should choose the one who really loves our people, the one who will stand up for our people.
