Imphal, December 06:
Manipur Human Rights Commission has today issued notices to the commissioner/secretary and Director Social Welfare Dept in connection with the alleged non release of maintenance grants in totality for eight recognized destitute children homes by the same Dept.
This followed a complaint petition filed by one A Tomba Meetei, general secretary of All Manipur Govt recognized destitute children Home Imphal.
He represents Children Home, Tera Keithel.
He contended that the Directorate along with the Imphal Treasury officer did not pass and release wholly Rs 6,91,200 meant for the homes, for the year 2003-04 as Rs 91,200 is yet to be released.
This has breached the rights of the children of the homes, he said while praying before the commission to take up necessary action to ensure release of the balance amount.
Having perused the petition, the right panel asked the two officials to submit their reports on the matter within four weeks.
