Imphal, June 14 2019:
In connection with the allegation regarding the non-distribution of 10 months worth rice under National Food Security Act to people of Wangkhei AC, FPS agents have clarified that the allegation is unfounded and baseless.
Speaking to media persons, on behalf of 32 FPS agents of Wangkhei AC, at Khurai Thangjam Leikai today, FPS no 258 agent RK ongbi Rita claimed that the above allegation made by All Manipur Nupi Marup, Wangkhei Area Committee secretary Yumnam Indrani is completely wrong.
She stated that a representative of a committee making such false statement is rather unfortunate.
Similar to the distribution of rice quota at other constituencies, FPS agents of Wangkhei AC put maximum effort so that the subsidies reach the beneficiaries without fail.

In view of the imposition of code of conduct as per the Lok Sabha election, it is true that subsidies for the month of April, May and June have not been withdrawn till date.
However, the three months subsidies will reach the beneficiaries in no time, she added.
She expressed disappointment that some people with vested interests have tried to take advantage of the fact that some FPS agents are being replaced and are trying to compromise the situation and mislead the public through false allegations.
Rita went on to claim that records are being maintained at the departments concerned regarding the sanctioning and distribution of the subsidies for Wangkhei AC and added that any individual can approach the agent concerned regarding any related information or confusions.
However, going to the media to make wrong allegations without deliberating the matter with the agent concerned is rather unfortunate and a very unpleasant thing to do.
Appealing all not to make such false statements in the future, Rita remarked that the agents do not wish to make a ruckus out of some baseless statements through media.
