Imphal, November 15 2022:
All Naga Doctors' Forum (ANDF), Manipur on Tuesday clarified that the news item published in state dailies and cable news channel was not factually correct.
"To put the facts straight, the health camp was organised by ANDF, Manipur at Maram Khullen, Senapati district on November 13 after much preparation and mobilisation with the local support extended by the chief medical officer of Senapati district and not as appeared in the said news items," an ANDF statement said.
The Forum made it clear that it did not collaborate with Maram Battalion of Jwalamukhi Sector Assam Rifles in conduct ing the health camp at Maram Khullen on the said day.
"The team from Maram Battalion visited the medical camp without any invitation from the Forum," the statement conveyed.
"It is also necessary to highlight that there was no medical team from Shija Hospital in the health camp as it is otherwise mentioned in various news items," the Forum added.
ANDF Manipur further mentioned that it strongly condemned "such wrong and misleading news" appearing in the leading newspapers and local television channels of the state.
Therefore, the Forum is issuing this press release to give justice for the wrong done to the Forum and for the sake of truth, it said.
