JORHAT, Feb 18: The All Assam Deori Students’ Union (AADSU) has demanded the immediate dissolution of the interim Deori Autonomous Council and holding of council elections. The interim council has been in place since 2005.
In a memorandum submitted to Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi here on Monday, AADSU alleged massive corruption by executive members of the council and demanded a high-level inquiry into the anomalies and expulsion of the culprits. It further demanded holding of the council elections immediately and implementation of all the terms and conditions in the accord signed between the council and government when the council was formed.
AADSU said that intense politicizing was on by a particular member to break the unity of the Deori populace and try to retain power by adopting the British policy ‘divide and rule’. AADSU warned the member against this kind of behaviour and asked the Deori population to stand united against these kinds of elements who were treading this path for their vested interest.
The AADSU further alleged that a few members who were involved in large-scale graft were trying to down the voices of those, who were bringing these to light and trying to weaken their case by isolating them within the Deori society.
Vast sums of money sanctioned for developmental works had been siphoned off and only a probe could unearth the extent of corruption, the memo said. The memorandum was submitted by AADSU chief advisor Lalit Kumar Deori, AADSU president Keshav Deori and general secretary Hari Gobind Deori.
The jurisdiction of the Deori Autonomous Council is spread over parts of Jorhat, Sivasagar, Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, Lakhimpur, Dhemaji, Jonai, Sadiya and Gohpur districts and Guwahati.
The Deori population is about 2.5 lakh.
