Imphal, August 04 2013:
Alleging discrimination by the ward member and rationing agent, one Thingom Shamungou of Mayang Langjing Tanning has contended that genuine BPL card holders of the Mayang Langjing Tanning under 17/11 Lamshang assembly constituency are being denied their monthly quota of rice for the past few years.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club today, Shamungou said BPL card holder of the AC's Ward No 6 had been getting the benefits for many years but the same facility is being denied since 2008 .
Regretting that complaints lodged to official concerned of Imphal West Deputy Commissioner has failed to evoke positive response on the matter, he desired that higher authorities probe the matter to ensure select beneficiaries enjoy the scheme benefit.
