Imphal, December 30 2010:
Around 100 women thronged to the office of Macha Leima situated at Palace Compound, Imphal and destroyed a monitor, two CPUs and other properties of the office today.
According to officials of Macha Leima, Former President, P Gunileima was terminated from the office on charge of mishandling office fund on July 30 this year.
Chief Executive Officer, LC Bethebi was also terminated from the office on December 24 on the same charge.
Some papers of the office are also with them which they failed to submit even after repeated demands.
Gunileima has been mishandling cheques from other banks which come through her.
As the two women are keeping the cheques with them, the 20 branches of Macha Leimai are unable to sanction loan to around 2000 weavers.
Instead of giving the cheques, they are planning to set up a separate office with the amount.
The women who attacked the office asked them to give reasons of terminating Gunileima and Bethebi and demanded to give them their loan.
They destroyed one monitor, two CPUs, tables, chairs, doors, windows and other properties of the office.
Above these, an amount around Rs 1 lakh has been missing during the attack.
General Secretary, Desona fainted when the attackers tried to seized her and take her away and she was hospitalized.
The women left the place after destroying the properties of the office.
