Chakma Council raises concerns over fund shortfall, neglected projects before Governor
Kamalanagar, 15 May, 2025: A delegation of the Chakma Autonomous District Council, led by Dg. Molin Kumar Chakma, Chief Executive Member, called on the Hon’ble Governor of Mizoram, General (Dr.) Vijay Kumar Singh, at Raj Bhavan yesterday, seeking intervention on critical issues pertaining to the Council.
The delegation included Dg. Lakkhan Chakma, Chairman; Dg. Sanjib Chakma, Executive Member; and Dg. Durjya Dhan Chakma, former CEM and District BJP President. They were accompanied by the State BJP President, Pu Vanlalhmuaka.
During the meeting, they apprised the Governor of a serious financial crisis caused by a continued shortfall in salary fund allocation. Despite recommendations of the 2nd Mizoram State Finance Commission, which proposed that CADC receive 25.04% of the total share earmarked for Autonomous District Councils, actual allocations have consistently fallen short. This has resulted in a salary deficit since December last year. It was further clarified that the staff strength of CADC (1,429) remains lower than that of MADC (1,789) and LADC (1,927), refuting the perception of overstaffing.
Concern was also raised over the exclusion of 33 development proposals submitted by CADC last year from the State Government’s priority list. These proposals, aimed at improving essential sectors such as education, roads, and public utilities, have not been forwarded to the concerned Central Ministries under schemes like the 16th Finance Commission, NESIDS, PMJVK, and Article 275(1). It was further pointed out that CADC continues to lag behind in overall development, with a literacy rate of only 46.4%, compared to the state average of over 91.58%.
The Governor was also briefed on the pending sanction of ₹118.75 crore under the Border Area Development Programme (BADP). The delegation highlighted the plight of border villages in CADC, where residents continue to suffer due to displacement caused by the Indo-Bangla border fencing and long-standing under-development.
Other matters raised included the long-pending assent to several important Bills passed by the District Council, and difficulties faced by residents due to non-functional ATMs and the absence of bank branches at Longpuighat and Borapansury.
The Hon’ble Governor assured the delegation that the issues raised would be given due attention and taken up with the appropriate authorities.
