Convenor of Demand Committee on Creation of Autonomous District Councils Samuel Kamei said that the state Government should not held the upcoming ADC election until Autonomous district Councils are created for the four hill districts.

The convenor further added that the committee would launch various form of democratic and peaceful agitations if ADCs are not created for the four new hill districts before the election.

It may be mentioned that seven new districts were created in Manipur in 2016.
