Imphal, July 18 2018:
PDS Demand Committee Wangoi Kendra secretary Yumnam Tampha has claimed that repeated appeals to the Government to provide the 8 months� worth of pending National Food Security Scheme to the people, have fallen to deaf ears.
Speaking to Manipur Press Club yesterday, Tampha said that the people of Irom-Meijrao have not received any of 8 months worth of rice grains from the month of April 2016 to May 2017 .
In connection with the issue, the demand committee submitted various appeals and memos to various Departments concerned as well as to the Chief Minister.
The complaints even reached the Anti-Corruption Cell and then reached Imphal West DSO.
However, Tampha claimed that despite fixing a schedule for organising a public meeting on July 13 at the local community hall, the said DSO failed to attend, she said and demanded the DSO to clarify regarding his failure to attend and why the people have not yet received any rice.
