The intimation for the award which was sent by the Government of India on January 12 was received on January 29, she informed mediapersons while adding that the award was supposed to be distributed on Republic Day on Jan 26 .
The Jeevan Raksha Padak award carries a cash amount of Rs.40,000 along with a memento and certificate, she said.
Later in April last, the state government sent a letter informing the awardee to collect the cash award from the Secretariat office, she recounted, saying that a cheque of Rs.40,000/- was handed over to the awardee.
As the presentation of award could not be held on Republic day, it was done on August 15 at the Independence Day function in Imphal east district, Padmabati pointed out, while expressing dissatisfaction over the lack of seriousness of the state government on such awards.
Arambam Sanajaoba, the recipient of the Award who was also present at the press meet narrated the incident which led to his achievement of the President's award.
