Tinsukia District Journalists' Association (TDJA) has urged Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal for the appointment of a full-fledged District Information and Public Relation Officer (DIPRO) for the district.
In this regard, TDJA submitted a memorandum to Sonowal and to oversee the matter.
Since 2018, there has been no appointment of a full-fledged DIPRO. As per reports, a magistrate is an in-charge officer besides managing his daily duties. Moreover, if a DIPRO is even appointed mostly sought transfer and this practice has been continued for a decade.
The DIPRO, even if appointed, either had shown reluctance in posting or had sought transfer and this practice had been going on for the past decade.
