Imphal, May 22 2021:
CAF&PD deputy secretary Robertson Asem has issued an order on Saturday directing the deputy commissioners of all districts to add the names of citizens eligible for inclusion and avail benefits under the National Food Security Act (NFSA) scheme in the list uploaded on rcmsmanipur.nic or http://164.100.62.55/ rcmsmn/ at the earliest.
As per the order, the deputy secretary called for increasing the number of beneficiaries in the list available on the web portal so that the state government could request the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution for increasing the allocation for the state.
Removal of large number of eligible beneficiaries has affected several sections of the population, which has been further worsened by the Covid-19 pandemic, the secretary noted and as such directed the deputy commissioners to issue instructions to the concerned officials to add the eligible beneficiaries on the government portal without further delay.
"Since this is of urgent matter, focus could be given to necessary resources for updating the beneficiary list," the order stated.
