The members stated that PDS items which had not been distributed for five months should be provided to the beneficiaries at the earliest.
In the meantime, one of the NFSA agents Sarangthem Jiten said that beneficiaries of Kakching Khunou have not received adequate rice under National Food Security Act since April 2016 .

Speaking to mediapersons at Kakching Khunou, Jiten said, "Since April 2016, we have not received the adequate allotted NSFA rice for the beneficiaries.
The last distribution of NFSA rice and PDS oil was done in April this year, not February as alleged by some" .
He said that between April and December 2016, NFSA rice was not released for four months which is the reason why the rice was not distributed to the beneficiaries.
"We will co-operate with Kakching Khunou Youth Forum in its steps to ensure allotted NSFA and other PDS items reach the beneficiaries on time.
Local MLA K Ranjit is also putting all effort to solve the issue.
As such, his effort should not be misread," he added.
He also added that necessary steps have been taken up to make sure PDS oil for May is distributed to the beneficiaries soon.
He further urged Kakching Khunou Youth Forum to co-operate with the agents to ensure other remaining beneficiaries get their NFSA cards.
