Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club today, he continued that during the discussion of increasing the honorarium in the session, the honorarium of VDF personnel was agreed to be increased by Rs 1500 from their original pay scale so that they are provided Rs 9500 as the total income However, Amuthoi claimed that the personnel are getting Rs around 8700 as honorarium including ration money and questioned how the personnel would be getting Rs 9500 if Rs 1500 is added to their original pay (Rs 8700) .
