In a statement, he said that making the ADC Chandel function from Chingmeirong during the last five years was against ADC rules and added that the repeating it would affect district resources, economy and benign developmental plan from Centre and the State.
The CoPoTR in this connection has asserted to the ADC staff concerned as well as the elected MDCs to attend head office located in Monsang Pantha or faced stringent action from the committee, Kohring warned in the statement.
