Thoubal, May 21 2021:
Members of the Heirok Block Congress Committee (HBCC) were barred from entering the Community Home Isolation Centre in Heirok Khangarok under Heirok AC when they went to provide essential food items to the CHIC, the HBCC public secretary M Tomthin Meitei said on Friday.
M Tomthin alleged that the members of HBCC were denied entry into the CHIC by the CHIC secretary, L Jadumani and Heirok AC MLA, Th Radheshyaam who is also the chairman of the CHIC.
He expressed his anguish over the incident and stated that it is rather unfortunate that any responsible citizen would deny aid to the people suffering due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
M Tomthin further raised questions against the claim made by the MLA that the centre was operated with the funds provided by the MLA alone.
Where has the funds sanctioned by the Government to combat the pandemic and the Local Area Development Fund gone, he asserted.
Meanwhile, Mpirangthem Ibotombi Memorial Charitable Trust appealed to the people of Heirok AC in need of oxygen and ambulance to contact the mobile number - 9774293370/9366262537 for assistance.
