Imphal, October 12:
The MLA hostel area of Majorkhul is a very sensitive place in the city where among others one sitting MP, two ministers, one ex-minister, certain officials of the state government are occupying state PWD quarters.
It is very strange that in this area there have been numerous that cases involving loss of gas cylinder, bi-cycles, water pumps, other house-hold articles, etc a letter addressed to the Chief Minister, Works minister and Chief Secretary by Akhuba Kabui today said.
Recovery of smuggled items from this area is a common knowledge.
As per the government's orders, only the genuine allottees are supposed to occupy these quarters; nobody else is allowed to rent these quarters.
Photographs of the dwellers have recently been collected by the PWD authorities with a view to check unauthorized occupants.
There are instances where two type-III quarters (Nos 1 & 4) have most unscrupulously upgraded to type-IV in violation of the government's orders.
The present law and order situation in the state is deteriorating with increasing numbers of crime in and around this area.
