Imphal, May 17 2023:
Bishnunaha Youth Federation, Yairipok (BYFY) impounded a Tata DI Yodha transporting 60 bags (50 kg each) of rice in Thoubal Tang-jeng area.
In a release, BYFY secretary Ksh Malemnganba Meitei in-formed that the vehicle had flag marked 'relief camp' but on questioning driver of the vehicle could not corroborate to which relief camp the rice bags were being ferried.
Consequently, owner of the rice consignment was called and after a meeting with rep-resentatives of the club an understanding was reached and it was decided to distrib-ute the rice to relief camps opened at Yairipok, it added.
BYFY further cautioned people involved in rice busi-ness not to resort to unethical practice and exploit hardships faced by the people in this critical juncture.
