Imphal, November 11 2020:
Achoibam Deben, co-opted member of Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) and advisor of Lamlai Kendra Development Committee (LKDC) distributed monthly pension from his side to widows and aged people who are deprived of widow pension and old age pension given by the State Government today.
Addressing the gathering he said that the deserving people are deprived of the authorized pension from the Government.
He also pointed out that it is unfortunate that the disqualified MLA of Lamlai under the anti-defection law has failed to look after the concerns of the people.
Since there is no MLA at present the State Government should look after the concerns of the people of Lamlai, he added.
He urged the State Government and the authorities concerned to provide widow pension and old age pension to the deserving ones at the earliest.
Pensions were distributed to 362 widows and aged residents of Lamlai, Challou, Napet, Pungdongbam and Uyung Makhong.
