Imphal, April 22 2016 :
Local
bodies and womenfolk of
Uripok Panchai Maning,
Uripok Laikhurembi, Uripok
Huidrom Leikai and Uripok
Khoisnam Leikai today
alleged discrepancy in the
Food Security Act
implementation process.
Addressing a joint press
meet at the office of
Khoisnam Leikai Youth De-
velopment Committee
(KHLYDC), Uripok today,
Kh Meghachandra, presi-
dent, KHLYDC told
reporters that Khumukcham
(O) Sorojini w/o Kh Biren
whose name has been en-
rolled in the electoral roll of
Uripok Khaidem Leikai has
been appointed as the agent
of Food Security Act for the
localities mentioned.
Maintaining that a com-
mon agent is to be selected
for the four localities, he de-
cried the selection of an
individual not belonging to
the four localities as the
agent despite many appli-
cants from the localities.
The
appointment is unacceptable.
Meghachandra further
drew the attention of the
concerned body and urged
to rectify the wrong before
the
implemention of the Food
Security Act on April 25 in
the State.
He also appealed to the
MLA concerned to effect
distribution of the ration
cards through councillors
and members of local bodies
in a transparent manner .
