KIPHIRE, MAY 22 (MExN): The Public Forum Pungro Sub-division (PFPS) has expressed dismay over the transfer of SDO (E) Pungro from the office of EE Kiphire to the office of EE Wokha vide No.PWR/ESTT-32/2010 dated Kohima, the 17th May 2016 without any alternate arrangement or reliever.
A press note from the PFPS said that the office of JE (E) Pungro was recently up-graded to SDO (E) after much persuasion to the competent authority. However, to the consternation of the public of Pungro sub-division, the transfer order came as a rude shock as the transfer and posting has been done without proper analysis, it said.
The PFPS stated that the sub-station at Pungro, being located strategically comprises vast consumers of over 50 villages. Besides, it administers Likimro Hydro Electricity Project and the on-going Ponglifo mini hydro project at Salomi. “As such, it is imperative that an officer i.e., S.D.O. (E) should be posted and stationed at sub-station, Pungro to manned the office.”
To this end, the PFPS urged the concerned authority to revoke the transfer order or immediately deploy an officer against the existing vacancy in the larger interest of the public. The PFPS, on behalf of Pungro Sub-Division public, assured unflinching support and cooperation towards the concerned department if its genuine grievance is properly addressed.
