DIMAPUR, MARCH 28 (MExN): The Yimchungrü Akherü Arihako (YAA), the frontal students’ organization of the Yimchungrü tribe, on Tuesday cautioned government officers and staff of various departments posted under its jurisdiction that it would not compromise nor tolerate dereliction of duties.
In a press statement, YAA president S Yansomong and general secretary Achung Jangleh said it has detected government officers and staff of various departments posted in its jurisdiction taking undue advantages of the remoteness of the region by disregarding their assigned duties.
Expressing concern that the public has to undergo various hardships and inconvenience in their absence, the YAA has directed all the officers posted under its jurisdiction to immediately be stationed in their respective places of posting so that any pertinent matters can be addressed to with prompt and effectiveness.
In this connection, the students’ organization also sought cooperation from the district administration of Shamator and Pungro to ensure the attendance of every government employee in their respective place of postings.
Also taking serious note of reports that most of the Village Council Chairmen and VDB secretaries were residing in towns and all the while neglecting the assigned duties and affairs of their village, the YAA has directed all the VCCs and VDB secretaries to remain in their respective village and look after the welfare of the villagers.
Furthermore, the YAA informed that it would be monitoring the absence of teachers within its jurisdiction as well as irregularities and misuse of various welfare funds of the students. The students’ organization warned that it would not hesitate to forward to the competent authority for appropriate action against any erring teacher or officer and staff.
The YAA also brought to knowledge the rampant transfer of teachers along with post, which have reportedly been taking place in various schools without the knowledge of the concerned VECs. Terming this as highly questionable, the YAA said it would not remain a silent spectator to such decisions of the state government and the department concerned.
The YAA also appealed the state government to do away with ‘pending salaries’ culture and see that welfare of the teachers appointed under CSS projects are equally taken care of.
Meanwhile, all the YAA officials including advisors have been informed to attend co-ordination meeting on April 4, 2017 at Shamator. Members may put forward agenda/grievances to any YAA officials or through email at yimchungruakheruarihako@gail.com, the press statement informed.
