TURA, Sep 26: NPP leader from South West Garo Hills, who reportedly tried to use his influence to abuse a block official even to the extent of threatening him with transfer, has been terminated from his post. NPP block vice president of Salmanpara constituency Linus Rema was relieved of his duties on September 24 by the block president.
Earlier, Rema, in a telephonic conversation, had tried to intimidate an Assistant Programme Officer (APO) of Zikzak Block, hurling expletives at him as well as threatening to transfer him, merely because he had not received his call.
The audio recording of the phone conversation, which immediately went viral, had sparked anger among many social media users.
Meanwhile, the termination of Rema from his post has also been intimated to the district party president.
