The memorandum includes findings from a CSO-led inquiry into NFSA rice distribution, revealing potential malpractice. According to statements from truck drivers, there were discrepancies between official gate passes and actual quantities delivered. Furthermore, signatures on gate pass documents were allegedly forged, suggesting possible diversion of essential food supplies.

“Years of memorandums and silence have brought us here,” said a CSO representative at the rally. “From ration to roads, from hospitals to power — this is not governance, this is neglect disguised as governance.”

The CSOs have demanded a formal public response from the Governor’s office, written updates and timelines from relevant departments, and immediate redressal of healthcare and food security issues.

A five-day ultimatum, effective from July 18, has been set. Failure to meet the demands, the memorandum warns, will trigger intensified democratic agitation — including indefinite protests, road blockades, and mass mobilisations.

The organisations made it clear that the responsibility for any resulting unrest would rest squarely on the authorities who continue to ignore the voices of Tamenglong’s people.

The Governor’s office and district administration are yet to respond to the memorandum.
