Imphal, April 22 2016 :
Local bodies and womenfolk of Uripok Panchai Maning, Uripok Laikhurembi, Uripok Huidrom Leikai and Uripok Khoisnam Leikai today alleged discrepancy in the Food Security Act implementation process.
Addressing a joint press meet at the office of Khoisnam Leikai Youth Development Committee (KHLYDC), Uripok today, Kh Meghachandra, president, KHLYDC told reporters that Khumukcham (O) Sorojini w/o Kh Biren whose name has been enrolled in the electoral roll of Uripok Khaidem Leikai has been appointed as the agent of Food Security Act for the localities mentioned.
Maintaining that a common agent is to be selected for the four localities, he decried the selection of an individual not belonging to the four localities as the agent despite many applicants from the localities.
The appointment is unacceptable.
Meghachandra further drew the attention of the concerned body and urged to rectify the wrong before the implemention of the Food Security Act on April 25 in the State.
He also appealed to the MLA concerned to effect distribution of the ration cards through councillors and members of local bodies in a transparent manner.
