Imphal, January 09 2014:
Some Councillors of Imphal Municipal Council have appealed to the authority concerned to select Wangkhei AC beneficiaries of National Food Security Act according to rules and guidelines.
Speaking to media persons at his Khurai Thangjam Leikai residence Ward No 23 Councillor Birjit Loushangbam said that process was underway to select NFSA beneficiaries in defiance of the recommendations made by the district level committee.
Ward No 26 Councillor M Majakhon, Ward No 22 Councillor Nganninlun Kipgen and Ward No 21 Councillor Kh Umesh were also present at the press meet.
Earlier, it was decided that beneficiaries would collect forms by themselves and submit the filled in forms to the committee.
However, the MLA has been asking people to collect and submit forms to him.
This is against the rules and defies the decision of the district level committee, Birjit said.
If the decision of the district level committee should be suppressed, selection of beneficiaries may be done through the Deputy Commissioner, he appealed.
