Imphal, November 21 2013:
Naga People's Front (NPF), Nungba Area has drawn the attention of the concerned authorities particularly the Minister of CAF and PD and other officers of the Department over the non-availability of PDS items like rice, kerosene, sugar, etc in Nungba Assembly Constituency, which is also the home constituency of Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam.
In a statement, the Front said that people of the Nungba living under Below Poverty Line (BPL) have not been getting PDS items for more than a decade now.
Even though the PDS agents went to lift the commodities for Nungba regularly but they sold them out at Imphal markets, thereby depriving the poor people of Nungba of their due rights and share of PDS items, and thus forcing them buy the same essential items from local markets at exorbitant price.
Further, it urged the concerned authorities to look into the misappropriation of those essential commodities by PDS agents of Nungba constituency so that poor and needy people get their due shares regularly in the days to come.
