Imphal, June 04 2021:
Wangkhei Assembly Constituency MLA Yumkham Erabot has asserted that issues pertaining to 'loss and non distribution' of NFSA and PMGKAY rice during the tenure of ex-Minister Okram Henry will be probed with the help pf laws.
Denouncing the statement made by the PRO of O Henry that PMGKAY rice for 2020 and for January to March 2021 were distributed to the beneficiaries accordingly, scores of NFSA beneficiaries from Wangkhei AC approached Y Erabot at his Khurai Ahongei residence and raised the matter.
The beneficiaries charged that NFSA and PMGKAY rice were not distributed to the beneficiaries Of the AC regularly during the time of O Henry, Saying that the clarification issued by the PRO of Wangkhei pertaining to the issue in many dailies is groundless as beneficiaries in Wangkhei are yet to get rice for months, they urged O Henry to give a valid proof and furnish a white paper if what he claims is true.
After hearing the complaint of the beneficiaries, the MLA said that he is aware of many of the beneficiaries of Wangkhei not getting their due share of rice during the last 3-4 years.
Erabot further charged that the ex-Minister had also not distributed PMGKAY rice and pulses allocated by the Centre for 8 months between March 2020 and March 2021 to the people of Wangkhei regularly.
The MLA also urged the PRO of O Henry to furnish proof if rice were distributed to the beneficiaries of Wangkhei appropriately.
