Employees in Chakma Autonomous District Council are in the state of 'limbo'- History will see the present leaders as careless and puny

By Suman Chakma

Employees living without salary in Chakma Autonomous District Council:


     Allow me to jot down here a few lines about the fact how and for what ground the employees of Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) are spending as borrowing life for the last three and more months without any salary. Probably, this prolong irregularity of salary may be one of due to the CEMship, besides many unknown others.


     Earlier, for more than two months (from ending 2013) the employees of  CADC are not getting their due salaries and were convinced that the payment shall be disbursed as liable after the Assembly election in Mizoram is expired. Meanwhile, the General elected leaders (MDCs) of CADC are still on the move to decide who shall be the next incumbent Chief Executive Member (CEM) of CADC despite the fact they know that without their settlement from the move of forming the New Executive- Body of CADC, the employees and their families and others who are relying on them as workers shall have to suffer as long as they (elected members) delay the on going move. Although, they made Dr. Buddha Dhan Chakma as new CEM of CADC on 26 April 2013, but that is also after a long period of baffling and dirty political shenanigans, who again later on elected and chosen as Minister of State in Mizoram Legislative Assembly. The sole reason for INC (Congress) triumph and victory in Mizoram though lost in many parts of the Country meanwhile, may be due to New Land Using Policy (NLUP) as election bait for Congress's BIGGEST VICTORY WEAPON as alleged by the main opposition MNF party in the state.

     The Political leaders (decision maker here) of CADC never turn back and think of at least for those students who are studying outside the county and state, and pursuing their dreams. They also make them suffer as well. Perhaps, it is a curse than having a job for those who can not help their families at the time of most they need. Literally, money is their only real parents especially for those students studying outside the state. As a result, the present leaders of CADC not only ill-affected their capacities to lead the Chakmas of Mizoram but also failed to show us as responsible figures in our society. They all aware of it that due to their carelessness most of the peoples of CADC are suffering unnecessarily. This truly brand the present political leaders of CADC as CARELESS and WEAK. That attitude to become the CEM unconstitutionally and unconventionally !!! However, the story does not end here, rather it becomes more curious when Congress brings landslide victory in last Legislative Assembly election in Mizoram held on 25 Dec.2013, when the present CEM, Dr. B. D. Chakma was chosen as Minister of State, i/c Horticulture and Fisheries, in Mizoram state on 14 December 2013 as I said before. Now, in spite of  making rapid and tacit decision, and appointing the able person directly for the particular post (like who will be the CEM or Chairman, etc.)  by seeing their qualification, abilities and boldness in the concern field of sharing Department, but they rather started again, maligning each other and exaggerating the easily solvable issue into complicated one by repeating the same untidy and detesting things which already made unbearable tolerance to one and all in the Chakma's council. The other principal cause for late salary may be due to the non-transparency of accounts and other details accountability in many Departments and delinquency of one's duty during the last five-years tenure. And the present persons in certain Department and Post are not readily accepting their post for what they were being newly appointed, as there is every possibility of scam, if the accountability is not made transparent and crystal clear before they join their respective Post.

     At last, after so long of discussion how come Buddha Lila Chakma came out as the current Chief Executive Member (CEM) of CADC on 22 January 2014. He was not only the youngest elected Member of District Council (MDC), but also the youngest CEM of Chakma Autonomous District Council's (CADC) history.


However, the day and date for salary in CADC is uncertain till now.

        


                        "Hope Mr. Buddha Lila Chakma, CEM, CADC would be an artist to mould and turn CADC from under-developed to developed; corrupted to corrupt free and irregular to regular salary at his mighty capacity."
