Imphal, September 12 2016:
Laishram Kishorjit who has been running the JNIMS Public Main Canteen, opposite to the hospital's casualty and trauma centre has decried JNIMS Director Prof L Deben's notice which asked him to vacate the canteen by today.
He contended that he opened the canteen since 2005 after two agreements were signed with the concerned authority.
"Although the notice was issued on September 7, I received the notice only at 3.30 pm today", Kishorjit said.
He said that he signed an agreement on September 26, 2005 with the then JN Hospital Medical Superintendent for running a canteen till 2020 .
But the same agreement was rescinded by a notice issued by the JN Hospital Medical Superintendent on July 6, 2011.After a fresh application was submitted, a new agreement was signed on July 11, 2011 which authorised him to run the canteen till for 15 years.
It was also agreed that JNIMS should reimburse the amounts spent in constructing the canteen and its maintenance, Kishorjit said.
Saying that he and 10 other people are dependent on the canteen for their livelihood, he sought immediate attention of the concerned authority.
