Moirang, July 12 2020:
Secretary of SYC Nongmaithem Hemanta, during a meeting held yesterday at Kumbi, has claimed that 37 beneficiary families of National Food Security Act (NFSA) from Ward no 4 of Kumbi Assembly Constituency have not received any subsidised foodgrain from the Government till date.
He also said that though complaints have been lodged about the problem on several occasions, no tangible actions have been taken up by the officials and department concerned to address the plights of the beneficiaries.
Claiming that certain beneficiaries of Ward no 3 came to the agent of Ward no 4 with a Government order to collect foodgrain, the secretary asserted that no amount of foodgrain should be subtracted from Ward no 4, which already has many cardholders who don't get subsidised foodgrain.
Even if there is extra rice at Ward no 4, priority should be given to beneficiaries of the Ward itself, he added.
