Imphal, January 11 2022:
Imphal West District VDF Welfare Association (IWDVDFWA) under the aegis of SP Imphal West Ksh Sivakanta provided a monetary aid of Rs 1.5 lakh to Khaidem (o) Umabati Devi, wife of deceased VDF member Khaidem Lekin Singh of Lamsang Bazar who was posted at Lamsang police station and died on December 26, 2021 following an illness.
In a release, IWDVDFWA publicity secretary S Romesh Singh informed that it also provided monetary aid to two other VDF personnel who got injured while performing duty.
The two injured VDF personnel are Kh Nanda, who is posted at R/O Staff and N Nandakesho who is posted as house guard at the residence of Dr Bilashini.
It is very unfortunate that the state government has till now not given any compensation or monetary aid to VDF personnel who got injured or died while on duty.
Thus, the government should look into the matter at the earliest, the Association said.
