IMPHAL: The agitating Autonomous District Council (ADC) has urged governor Gurbachan Jagat to direct the state government to give autonomy and devolve powers to the council.
About 156 irate members belonging to six district councils - Ukrhul, Tamenglong, Churachandpur, Chandel, and two in Senapati district including Sadar Hills - threatened to resign enmasse if their demands are not met. A 15-member delegation of the ADC Coordinating Committee Manipur (ADCCCM), led by its convener, Ngalangzar Malue, submitted a memorandum to the governor on Thursday lamenting that no real powers have been devolved to the six councils so far. The memo also urged the governor to report to President Pranab Mukherjee about "the failure of the administration at the grassroots level as a result of the negligence of the mandated district council governments in hill areas of Manipur."
