DG-747 The rejoinder from the opposition party’s youth wing was received here on Thursday. In the press release, the youth wing iterated that it fully supports the objection of the leader of opposition and the party against the appointment of the state’s vigilance commissioner. The youth stated that the appointment was in total violation of existing norms stipulated by the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) Act of 2003. The youth wing affirmed that none, the leader of op- position nor the NPF’s spokesperson or the party, targeted the integrity and credentials of Mayang Lima. Rather, it was the lapse in procedures for recruitment to the post of vigilance commissioner which the youth wing stated was violated by the People’s Democratic Alliance government. This is the point of contention, the press release stated. The press release stated that the NDPP had claimed National Health Mission (NHM) in collaboration that ‘all due procedures were followed by the government with the SKY Hospital and Research Centre, in appointment of the state vigilance commissioner.’ Ac- cording to the press release the appointment of Mayang Imphal, Manipur will organise a One-Day Heart Lima was issued in clear violation of clause-4 (a) of a cabi- net resolution dated April 9 1976 ‘because the appointee Screening for FREE on the 12th June is neither a retired high court judge nor a retired senior executive officer.’ 2018 at the Naga Hospital Authority Kohima The NPF wing also referred to the Central Vigilance Commission Act of 2003, section-41 clause-1 of sub clause (NHAK), Kohima. (c) that to appoint the vigilance commissioner approval of the Leader of Opposition was mandatory. The youth wing stated: ‘The said appointment prima The Department Requests all the concerned facie suggests that, it is a political reward ascribing on the appointee’s political loyalty to the ruling NDPP party Citizens of Kohima and it’s Neighbouring in Nagaland which can be substantiated by taking the record, the fact that the appointee contested 2018 general Districts to Avail the Services. election from 22 Arkakong assembly constituency under Mokokchung district, Nagaland.
