HSA endorses DCCADCs demand

PHERZAWL , Apr 9
The Hmar Students' Association (HSA), Hmarram Joint Headquarters, Pherzawl district, in a statement issued today, endorsed the legitimate demand of the DCCADC and called upon the Government of Manipur to involved leaders of the DCCADC in all the decision making processes of the creation of ADCs for the four hill districts- Kamjong, Noney, Pherzawl and Tengnoupal.
HSA recalled the meeting held between the Chief Minister, Biren Singh and the leaders of the Demand Committee on Creation of Autonomous District Council (DCCADC) on February 20, 2021 and their discussion about the confirmation of the four hill districts of Manipur- Kamjong, Noney, Pherzawl and Tengnoupal, as separate Autonomous District Council (ADCs).
The HSA appreciated the warm welcome extended by the Chief Minister to the DCCADC leaders and his positive response to the memorandum submitted by the said leaders.
HSA mentioned that the Cabinet Meeting of the Government of Manipur held on March 27 approved to hold ADC elections in the State, including the four new districts and assured to take required steps by the authority concerned.
The assurance underpinned that the four hill districts will be conferred the status of ADCs before the election dates are announced, it added.
The HSA also expressed concern about the well being of the people in the districts and stated that it firmly believes upgrading Pherzawl district to the status of ADC would enhance economic development and sustainability, stability and peace.
Conferring ADC status to Pherzawl district would be perceived by the people of the district as the fulfilment of their long unrealized aspirations, it added.
HSA further appealed to the State Government to issue an appropriate order for upgrading the four new districts to the status of ADCs before the announcement of ADC elections in the State and warned that failure to comply with the arrangement, may lead to undesirable incidents in the four hill districts.
