MNPF accuses NSCM (IM) of grabbing contract work

IMPHAL | Aug 18

The Manipur Naga People’s Front (MNPF) has alleged that developmental works implemented by the government, NGOS and companies in the past decades all over Manipur’s hill areas particularly in Naga areas have never achieved the targets because of “malicious intervention” and “misappropriation” by the NSCN (IM).

The Naga areas of Tamenlong, Chandel, Senapati and Ukhrul districts are all in pathetic condition as road condition and various other institutions are in deplorable situation due to NSCN (IM), alleged a release signed by assistant publicity secretary MNPF, Thomas Numai.

People are suffering as resources and funds for developmental programmes are snatched away, it charged.

The front further wondered why NSCN (IM) is still continuing with extortion, robbery and kidnapping to “loot” developmental fund.

The release said the MNPF strongly opposed and condemned Thuingaleng Muivah led-NSCN (IM) for “forcibly” grabbing the four-packaged PMGSY work programmess in Ukhrul district, Phase-XI,Batch-1,2017-1018, to be implemented at four different sides and locations.

The locations are Chatric to Gambal,  Phungyar to Tusom , Siroi to Hamlang  and Tuinem to Champhung, it added.

The release said MNPF will appreciate all contractors who execute works for the welfare of the people while cautioning that if any contractor is found toeing NSCN (IM) line the front will never tolerate it and NSCN (IM) will be held responsible for any unwanted development.
