HAFLONG: Expressing the discontent regarding the recently published delimitation draft proposal for Assam, the Dima Hasao Delimitation Demand Committee (DHDDC), a conglomeration of various social organizations of Dima Hasao district, staged a sit-in in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office on Monday.
Representatives from all walks of life, including NGOs, political parties, and concerned individuals, actively participated in the agitation programme. The protesters assembled in large numbers, displaying banners and placards expressing their concerns and demands. The atmosphere was charged with passion and determination as the participants raised their voices against what they perceived as an unjust delimitation proposal.
The DHDDC has been at the forefront of advocating for fair and inclusive delimitation in Dima Hasao district. They argued that the proposed draft fails to address the unique demographic, geographical, and historical aspects of the region. They believe that the current delimitation proposal would result in an inadequate representation of their community and compromise their political voice.
During the sit-in demonstration, the leaders of DHDDC addressed the crowd, highlighting the discrepancies and shortcomings of the draft delimitation proposal. They emphasized the need for a comprehensive and inclusive approach that considers the aspirations and interests of all sections of society.
Later, a memorandum was submitted to the Chief Minister of Assam and the Election Commissioner of India through the Deputy Commissioner Dima Hasao. The memorandum mentions specific demands of the DHDDC and called for a revision of the delimitation proposal to ensure fair representation and political empowerment for the people of Dima Hasao.
The DHDDC representatives expressed hope that the Assam government and the Election Commission of India would carefully review their demands and take necessary steps to address the concerns raised by the citizens of Dima Hasao. They emphasized the importance of democratic principles and the need for transparent and inclusive delimitation processes.
