The All 27th Liromoba Youth Organisation (A27th LYO) has submitted a 30-day ultimatum to the West Siang deputy commissioner and the PWD secretary, demanding the immediate operationalisation of the PWD Yomcha division office at its designated headquarters in Yomcha. The organisation stated that the PWD Yomcha division has been functioning from a rented room in Aalo for the last 10 years, causing immense hardship to the people of Liromoba constituency who have to travel long distances for basic PWD-related works and grievances. The A27th LYO has presented several key demands, including the shifting of the entire division from Aalo to Yomcha within 30 days, ensuring 100% attendance of all officers and staff at the Yomcha HQ from the date of receipt of the letter, installation of a biometric attendance system at the Yomcha office within 15 days, directing JE Damken Gamlin and all other staff to remain present at the Yomcha office during office hours, and submitting a compliance report to the A27th LYO within 30 days.
A27th LYO president Banya Yomgam emphasized the need for the government to ensure that public offices function where they are meant to, for the people. He stated that an office that exists only on paper is not acceptable, especially after 10 years of denying basic government services to the people of 27th Liromoba. A27th LYO general secretary Ganya Kayi added that the organisation has given 30 days for compliance, and if the department fails to act, it will be compelled to take democratic and peaceful steps.
The responsibility will lie entirely with the department. The A27th LYO has appealed to all public leaders, CBOs, and citizens of Liromoba to support the movement for transparent and accountable governance.
