HAFLONG, March 25 � Considering the pecuniary plight of the Council employees commonly known as normal employees of Dima Hasao Autonomous Council (DHAC) in Dima Hasao district, the Autonomous State Demand Committee (ASDC), Dima Hasao district committee, urged the Government of Assam and the Government of India to resolve the fund crunch of Dima Hasao Autonomous Council (DHAC) by providing fund amounting to at least Rs 540 crore as grant-in-aid for the year 2011-12 directly from the Central Government to DHAC, especially to meet the expenses meant for payment of salaries to normal employees and clearance of outstanding bills under DHAC, stated Rathindra Thaosen, president, ASDC DimaHasao district committee, Haflong in a press release.
The release mentioned that the salaries of normal employees in the DHAC have not been paid for more than six months due to lack of funds in Dima Hasao Autonomous Council, and the plight of the �normal employees� and their families have greatly worsened affecting the economy of Dima Hasao district as a whole, as almost all the �normal� employees are local residents of Dima Hasao district and the prospects of most markets in the hill district depend on the salaries of normal employees.
The ASDC, Dima Hasao district committee, urged the Central Government including the Prime Minister, UPA chairperson, Home Minister and the Finance Minister to intervene in the matter so that the amount of Rs 540 crore for the year 2011-12 as grant-in aid can be provided to Dima Hasao Autonomous Council (DHAC) on the ground of such abject financial condition of the normal employees in Dima Hasao district, which is one of the most far-flung districts of Assam.
