Ex-CEM for CBI probe into NC Hills scam

Update: 2010-09-15 00:00 GMT

GUWAHATI, June 21 � Former Chief Executive Member of NC Hills Autonomous District Council Arun Chandra Haflongbar has made an appeal to the Union Government to authorize the CBI to go into all the cases of misappropriation of public money in the Autonomous District Council, covering all the departments.

In a memorandum to Union Home Minister P Chidambaram today, Haflongbar pleaded for steps to punish all the politicians, bureaucrats, contractors and suppliers involved in the multi-crore scam.

He has also pleaded for issuing �direction� to the State Government to search out the DHD (J) C-in-C Niranjan Hojai, who is absconding since the surrender of the DHD (J) militants.

Besides, he said the Union Government should take urgent measures to resolve the Dimasa tangle by carving a Dimaraji state out of the Dimasa-dominated areas of Assam and Nagaland.

The renaming of the NC Hills district as Dima Hasao is done not in accordance with the demand of the Dimasa organisations, which are for creation of a Dimaraji state instead.

Moreover, the non-Dimasa peoples of the district have also been upset with this move of the State Government to rename the district without any consultation, said Haflongbar.
