Kamalanagar, 20 April 2017: Dg. Santosh Chakma, President, CDCTA while speaking on the 12th Chakma District Council Employees Association General Conference suggested to refer any request for promotion/pay up-gradation to the two Employees Associations of CADC to avoid acquiescing out of political compulsion. The proposal was made with reference to an advice to the employees in general by Dg. Amit Kumar Chakma, i/c CEM, CADC to refrain from making request for undue/underserved promotion.
The CDCEA conducted its 12th General Conference from 20th to 22nd April and elected a new Executive Body. Dg. Amit Kumar Chakma i/c CEM, CADC and Dg. Dayal Chandra Chakma, Chairman, CADC graced the occasion as its Chief Guest and Guest of Honour respectively.
