Awareness building and leader’s roundtable discussion on approaches to the demand of the Indigenous Peoples’ Forum (IPF) of N.C. Hills and challenges simultaneously, with a particular focus on Bifurcation of N.C. Hills district was held at Haflong on March 27.
The meeting was attended by 120 delegates from different IPF communities of the district. The meeting also discusses the indigenous rights and issues relating to the minorities concern of the district and how the growing interest of the IPF demand for bifurcation and total opposition of the proposed wild-life sanctuary would be set in motion and suitable mechanism to address ethnic minorities ’ aspirations against their struggle from the dominance of the majority.
The meeting also decries the poor state of affairs of the district and the indifferent attitude of the district administration in failing to provide the basic day-to-day necessities like water, health and sanitation. The meeting observed that the elected representatives seems to have forgotten the people mandate they have received and their empty promises in the election manifestos is being projected now in its true form. Their inefficiency and pathetic style of administration seems to have broken all form of records. The meeting deemed the district administration “fit for nothing”.
The meeting finally reiterates the need for fullswing programs and plans along with mass participation as well as the need to gain access to more regional, national and international mechanism for final justice against the shimmering discontent amongst the masses of the district.
