Imphal, July 24 2021:
National Food Security Act (NFSA) and Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY) beneficiaries of HaraOrou stormed at the residences of FPS agents regarding the distribution of ration below the stipulated quantity of rice today.
A team of Sagolmang Police Station led by its OC rushed to the spot and controlled the situation in time.
The crowd had stormed the residence of FPS agent Senjam Suramani despite the intensified curfew in place and questioned why a reduced quantity of rice was being distributed to the beneficiaries.
One of the beneficiaries said relevant documents for aadhaar linking with ration cards have been submitted but many beneficiaries have been cut from the new list for failure to link the ration card.
It is actually the FPS agents and officials who lost the documents, so why should beneficiaries bear the brunt of their mistakes, she asked.
