Imphal, June 17 2017:
Allegations have been raised that subsidised items under National Food Security Act (NFSA) have not been distributed for some months to the people ofNambol AC.
Speaking to media persons, a priority card holder clarified that the statement of Nambol Municipal Council ward no 15 councillor L Pateshwori that PDS items for the AC have been fully distributed is wrong and baseless.
She further stated that PDS items for eight months have only been distributed to the Nambol people and added that the card entry details differed from one beneficiary to another for every month.
Some had entry for six months while others had entry for seven to eight months, she added.
While condemning the misappropriate system, the beneficiary sought the attention of the authority concerned and urged to distribute the PDS items for the pending months at the earliest.
