Imphal, May 15 2017:
One Nepram Tombi Meitei of Koirou Thongju Part II was allegedly scolded and harshly rebuked when he went to meet an official today ironically as the whole State observes Meeyamgi Numit.
Speaking to The Sangai Express, Tombi said that he went to meet Bashikhong Sub Deputy Collector, SDC for putting up some complaints regarding delays in issuing his income certificate when he was greeted with harsh words from some of the Department's staff.
He pointed out that he has already visited the office many times and even took a receipt (RR 27-SDC-BIE-25-4-17) to facilitate early issue of his certificate but to no avail.
Tombi even claimed that sometime back, one of the staff offered to provide his certificate quickly if he gave some money.
He said that he went to the office at around 1 pm today, to inquire about his certificate but one of the staff directed him towards the receipt section of the office.
Finding the receipt section closed, he went in to meet the ADC directly who requested him to wait for some time assuring him that the staff in charge of the receipt section would arrive soon.
However, when the staff arrived at around 1.30 pm, Tombi was told that his certificate was in the possession of another staff.
The receipt section staff further told him that the concerned staff was at Imphal East DC office in connection with Meeyamgi Numit and therefore would arrive late.
Tombi alleged that the staff scolded him using harsh words when he asked why most of the office staff were absent everytime.
Hurt and rejected, he approached the ADC once again who told him that the staff in possession of his certificate would be arriving shortly but when the staff finally arrived at around 2.30 pm, he was once again told to approach another section.
Expressing disappointment, Tombi said that he found his paperwork still unprocessed and the staff in charge of the paperwork told him to reapply again citing missing details and documents.
He further said he came back home dejected after the staff told him to come back after some time with proper documents as they would be busy tomorrow too.
