Tuensang, June 26 (MExN): The Pathso Range Students’ Union (PRSU) has lamented the inaction of authorities with regard to complaints against a former EAC of Panso Town for issuing “unauthorized” site permits and charging money.
A press statement from PRSU alleged that the EAC issued unauthorized site permits and charged money thereby creating unnecessary administrative disarray and confusion among public of Pathso range under Noklak subdivision, Tuensang district.
“Such harassment of innocent public taking due advantage of illiteracy in the area is questionable,” asserted the statement issued by PRSU president, Shangchiu and information & publicity secretary, Tsoinyu.
The union stated it served an ultimatum through Deputy Commissioner, Tuensang on September 13, 2016 for monetary recovery and disciplinary action against the defaulter within 35 days from issuance of the letter and consecutively, a 10-day ultimatum was served to the Parliamentary Secretary for Land Revenue, dated June 14, 2017.
“The PRSU concludes that by showing such lackadaisical attitude to public grievances, it only self justify an act of accomplice and connivance to social criminals which further encourage more corruptions and crimes to be perpetrated without an iota of fear in the days to come too,” the statement read.
The union lamented that the case cannot be pursued any further and “has lost all hope in fulfilling pledge of the subject of demand that has been made with the site permit holders and beg an unconditional apology to the victims since the State competent authority has turned a deaf ear to the cry of the common people.”
Meanwhile, the union appealed to every concerned legal activist or organization to take up the matter if they think it deserves attention.
