Imphal, April 17 2015 :
There is a positive impact of the chillingly and revoltingly illustrated Hueiyen Lanpao campaign against the harassment and mortification of the old pensioners who can hardly walk.
The officials of the Social Welfare Department have started distributing the pension money from Friday, albeit too late, in the sense that one woman had died in the MR ground.
Rangitabali Waikom , the director, went around in the Keishamthong and Sagolband constituencies to hand deliver the money.
She said that the campaign shall cover other constituencies also.
Families of old and bed ridden pensioners are asked to submit applications to the office.

She further said that after the death of an elderly woman pensioner the system of distributing the same in the MR ground was stopped.
She sought cooperation from all sections.
Hueiyen Lanpao launched the campaign in the interest of the old and physically weak persons.
The campaign also exposed how the Congress was making a political capital out of the distribution of pension money by handing over the amount to the party MLAs while the opposition MLAs were denied the privilege.
If the well meaning suggestions had been heeded to by the Minister AK Mirabai and high officials of the department the old woman would have been alive today.
