Imphal, October 07 2021:
The public should utilize and protect community halls and other public properties constructed by politicians or social workers carefully.
Imphal Municipal Corporation (IMC) corporator of ward number 1, Gaidon Gangmei made the appeal while inaugurating a newly constructed community hall of Pongringjang United Organisation (PUO) at Neikanlong in Thangmeiband Cheiraoching and said it was constructed under the 3rd State Finance Commission.
The public have a tendency to take such community halls, waiting sheds and other construction by the Government for granted and are not looked after properly , which is very unfortunate, he added.
Gaidon Gangmei added that under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), IMC is taking up construction of houses for urban poor but at times the Government does not listen to IMC who is working at the grassroot level with the people.
The Government should ensure that deserving families are covered under the scheme instead of adding undeserving beneficiaries or removing deserving ones from the list.
21 families in first phase and 20 families in second phase have been benefited by the scheme in ward number 1 IMC and work is also underway to identify other deserving families, he added.
Informing that some people are collecting money from families on the promise of benefits under the scheme in his name, Gaidon Gangmei clarified that no money is collected by him or IMC for the scheme and appealed to the public not to give money to anyone for the said scheme.
