Imphal, May 26: Insisting that many lapses have been discovered due to irregularity in office attendance by SDO/BDO and subordinate staffs, the Flood Victims Demand Committee, Chandel headquarter TD block has demanded the urgent posting of a regular SDO/BDO preferably an IAS officer.
In a letter addressed to chief minister N Biren, the committee reminded that appointment of IAS officers as SDO/BDO in the headquarters of hill districts were common in the past. It further pointed out that no SDO/BDO has taken charge for Chandel TD block since January 2017 which, along with the poor attendance of other staffs, has resulted in lapses in the functioning of the office and is causing inconveniences to the flood victims as well as the general public.
