Imphal, August 04 2016:
A strong suspicion has been raised that many
well off families have been listed in the NFSA beneficiaries' list of
Imphal West district.
According to information received from the CAF&PD
Department, the monthly quota of rice allocated to AAY
beneficiaries of Imphal West district is 445165 quintals.
Subsidised rice for the months of April and May this year
have been distributed to AAY beneficiaries of the district.
Following complaints that even doctors and gold traders
have been included in the list of beneficiaries, allocation of
subsidised rice has been suspended.
The Department issued an
order on August 2 asking the officials concerned to review the
list of beneficiaries in collaboration with the district adminis-
tration.
The review work, according to the order, should be
completed within a week.
Many quarters have also raised
strong suspicions of well off families enjoying subsidised rice
given under AAY which otherwise is meant for economically
backward people of the State.
