Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC), MDC Dangu Doymoy Daveng Chakma on Monday met the Hon’ble Governor of Mizoram at Lok Bhavan, Aizawl, and submitted a detailed Revenue Gap Memorandum seeking urgent constitutional intervention to address the worsening fiscal condition of the Council.

Stressing the importance of democratic values and political stability, he emphasized the need for a sustainable and people-oriented political solution in the larger interest of the people residing under the Council.
Speaking after the meeting, Dangu Doymoy Daveng Chakma stated that the financial crisis confronting CADC has reached a critical stage and requires urgent intervention at the constitutional level to protect the rights, administration, and welfare of the people.
