Imphal, September 25 2016:
Women Empowerment Organisation, Wangoi Thoudam Leikai, has appealed to all the concerned to refrain from politicising the distribution of food grain under National Food Security Act.
Addressing media persons at a press meet held at Manipur Press Club today the organisation's secretary Thoudam Rashitombi said rice under NFSA was distributed for 127 beneficiaries of Wangoi Thoudam Leikai in April.
But 11 beneficiaries did not turn up to collect their share of the food grain.
These beneficiaries have now charged the organisation of swindling their share of NFSA rice, Rashitombi lamented.
The organisation never indulged in siphoning off of rice entitled to NFSA beneficiaries.
It undertook the task of distribution of the food grain to ensure fair distribution among beneficiaries, she stated.
She has further appealed to all the concerned to stop politicising distribution of food grains under NFSA.
