Amidst the ongoing imbroglio over the issue of 33% women reservation where the state government and apex tribal bodies are at loggerheads, the Pochury Hoho (PH) has come out in support of the reservation saying it has “no objection on issuing of 33% Women Reservation for the Town Council election.”
In a press note, PH general secretary Er. Vichutho Nyusou, said the Hoho had brought out an office memorandum on July 13, 2016, “that if any group of people or organization of Pochury is taking up an initiative step for social upliftment and community development, the Pochury Hoho shall not stop/sabotage them from doing their job in the interest of the people of Pochury.”
The press note added that the memorandum was served with reference to the humble appeal letter regarding to 33% Women Reservation received from the president and colleagues of Pochury Mothers Association.
