United Sangtam Students’ Conference (USSC) has declared that it will not allow any undue taxation by any individual, agent or faction on developmental activities under education and medical departments, roads & bridges construction and on Aspirational funds meant for development activities under Sangtam jurisdiction with immediate effect.
Conference’s president Samuel B Sangtam and general secretary Selichot Thonger stated in a release that a decision to this effect was taken at a joint meeting of the apex Sangtam student body with its 78 village units at Charc town on January 15.
Further, USSC directed all contractors and departments to shared work orders and detailed project reports (DPR) with its office and warned that quality of workmanship should not be compromised by any contractor within its jurisdiction.
Clarifying that the directive was being issued after witnessing poor workmanship by a few contractors and departments within its jurisdiction, the conference cautioned that its violation would force it to initiate its own course of action. The student body therefore appealed to all concerned to cooperate, adding that its directive would remain in force till further notice.
