Imphal, July 04 2009:
Reacting to the claim of the MapithelThoubal Range Development Committee (MTRDC) that the people of Phungyar A/C has been suffering due to the unsettled dispute over nomination of agents, Fair Price Shop Agents' Association of Phungyar A/C has clarified that there was no question of ration agents aggravating the situation.
The claim was a baseless one made by some persons who clamour to be ration agents, they asserted in a press release.
No notification was issued by the Ukhrul DC regarding expiry of the term of old agents on June 30 and commencement of the new agents from July 1 .
The FCS Commissioner's directive to extend tenure of the old agents up to August 31 was not only for Phungyar A/C but for the entire State, the agents clarified.
They said that the Phungyar A/C MLA wanted to replace all the agents with his men.
The agents claimed that they have been working faithfully and sincerely without any complaint.
