IMPHAL October 8: Tangkhul Naga Gazette Officer`s Welfare Association (TNGOWA) has sounded resentment over the recent appointment of Chief Secretary of Manipur terming it as highly irrational for sidelining deserving senior officials.<\/p>\n
TNGOWA in a press meet held at UDWJA office stated that sidelining senior officers is very demoralizing conduct and appeal for immediate rectification from the government.<\/p>\n
Manipur government has recently appointed O.Nabakishore, a 1984 batch IAS officer bypassing Ameising Luikham, the senior most IAS officer in Manipur, the association said.<\/p>\n
TNGOWA questioned why Ameising Luikham who is a 1981 MT cadre IAS officer was disqualified as the Chief Secretary of Manipur.<\/p>\n
`We consider this as another systematic discrimination and exploitation of the tribal officers in particular and the tribal people in general` stated TNGOWA officials.<\/p>\n
We have nothing against O.Nabakishore but deprivation of the deserving rights and privileges of Ameising Luikham, a tribal from Ukhrul, by the State government as the Chief Secretary is highly irrational and provocative, the members said.<\/p>\n
If such systematic exploitation is practice even at the top post what will be the fate of lower level officials, lamentsed TNGOWA.<\/p>\n
TNGOWA also questioned the uprightness of the people`s representative for not standing for the rights of the people they represented.<\/p>\n\n
