Dimapur, May 22 : Public Forum Pungro Sub-division (PFPS) has expressed dismay over the transfer of S.D.O. (E) Pungro, Er. Orenvungo S. Ovung from the office of E.E. Kiphire to the office of E.E. Wokha without alternate arrangement or reliever.
The Public Forum President S Kiusumew Yimchunger in a statement mentioned that the office of J.E. (E) Pungro was recently up-graded to S.D.O. (E) after much persuasion to the competent authority.
He however said, to the consternation of the public of Pungro sub-division, the transfer order came as a rude shock as the transfer and posting has been done without proper analysis.
“The sub-station at Pungro, being located strategically comprises vast consumers of over 50 villages. Besides, it administers Likimro Hydro Electricity Project and the on-going Ponglifo mini hydro project at Salomi. As such, it is imperative that S.D.O. (E) should be posted and stationed at sub-station, Pungro to man the office.”
The Forum urged the concerned authority to revoke the transfer order or immediately deploy an officer against the existing vacancy in the larger interest of the public. The Forum on behalf of Pungro Sub-Division public, assured unflinching support and cooperation towards the concerned department if its genuine grievance is properly addressed.
