Imphal, August 18 2020:
Khundrakpam Kendra Fair Price Shop Agents' Union has alleged that the BJP Khundrakpam Mandal is trying to "malign" the image of Khundrakpam Assembly Constituency MLA and FPS agents over rice distribution issue.
There has been a confusion among the public after BJP Khundrakpam Mandal produced documents reading that the share of NFSA rice for the Assembly segment for July has been lifted, the convenor of the union, S Surmani said.
Clarifying that the rice quota for the Assembly segment has not been handed over to the FPS (Fair Price Shop) agents by concerned transport contractor, the convenor said that the move of the BJP Khundrakpam Mandal when the MLA and FPS agents are working tirelessly, is misleading and uncalled for.
DSO and Transport contractor concerned should come out and clear the confusion regarding the matter, he said.
The convenor also went on to inform that the rice quota for the Assembly segment under NFSA and PMGKAY for the month of August, has been received.
However, owing to the detection of a COVID-19 case near the storage area, the rice distribution was delayed and had to start yesterday, the convenor said.
