DIPR
Imphal, May 10: As announced earlier, Chief Minister N. Biren Singh met various leaders of civil society organisations and village chiefs of hill districts at his official residence today.
It may be mentioned that the Chief Minister announced during his recent visit to Ukhrul district on April 11 that the 10th day of every month would be reserved for meeting with the leaders of civil society organisations and village chiefs of hill areas.
The Chief Minister attended to the grievances of around 500 people representing around 50 different civil society organisations and villages from 8 am to 1 pm today.
N. Biren said that he took the decision of exclusively earmarking a day for hill people in view of the inconvenience faced by them in approaching the Chief Minister to directly highlight their woes.
Maintaining that no community is small or big, the Chief Minister contended that every ethnic community of the State should live with dignity and pride, and there is the State Government to help them.
The Chief Minister further informed that a file of photostat copies of all the written representations submitted by different CSO leaders and village chiefs would be maintained in his office so that he may contact the official concerned anytime for follow-up action.
He appealed to his Council of Ministers and MLAs to resolve people’s woes by consulting them in a transparent manner.
Urging the elected leaders and Government officials to listen people’s complaints on ‘Meeyamgi Numit’ (15th day of every month), Shri N. Biren also urged them to publicise the schedule and venue of holding the day on the media one day in advance.
He further said that elaborate arrangements would be made in his official residence as well to organise the day on May 15.
