Imphal, July 19 2021:
Discrepancies have cropped up again in distribution of ration under NFSA and PMGKY in Wangoi AC.
Okendro Heisnam, secretary, Wangoi Kendra Development Committee, said this in a video message and alleged that FPS agents and sub-agents have given ration below the stipulated quantity in Samurou Mayai Leikai.
He added that only 4 kg of rice per head to card holders and 3 kg to those without cards are given by the agents.
There are also families where only the head of the family is being benefited while the remaining family members are not.
Okendro Heisnam also alleged that families of some Government employees are also enjoying the benefit under these schemes while many families of daily wage earners have been left out.
When enquired about such issues, the agents and sub-agents told them that the nominee of MLA didn't include your share in the ration, he added.
FPS agents and sub-agents in some cases have also withheld the ration cards of many beneficiaries.
There are also cases where the name of beneficiary is in the official list but due to not having the card in hand, they are left without any benefits under the scheme, he said in the video released.
He appealed to the concerned departments to look into this matter as such discrepancies and leaving people out from the benefits of such schemes had added to the woes during the time of the pandemic.
