Womenfolk of Ukhrul town have started voicing the need to appoint dedicated FPS agents, who can lessen their problems.
During a brief interaction with some women beneficiar- ies who recieve rice under the NFSA, the women said that they face many problems just to get their quota of rice under NFSA.
Under the NFSA each member of the family are to receive 5 Kgs of rice per month, but the quantity is always fudged, they alleged.
The agents use a tin can Kg of rice, they said but added that the one full can of rice is passed as one Kg.
Last year, three months NFSA rice quota of Ukhrul district were swindled, they pointed out and recollected how some officials of the CAF and PD were arrested by the police for rice pilfer- age in Ukhrul.
The women folk appealed the district administration to screen the FPS agents properly while appointing them.
