Imphal, February 16, 2013:
An AI of Imphal East ZEO Zone I has admitted that he took money for giving Meetei Mayek teacher's job from a woman, MEELAL has said.
In a press conference held at MEELAL office, MEELAL president Sadokpam Tomba Mangang said, Thongam Ibomcha (56) s/o Tonjao of New Checkon took Rs 30,000 for recruiting a wo-man to the post of Meetei Ma- yek in Takhel Primary School.
The matter came to light during an investigation conducted by MEELAL, he said adding that Ibomcha had also admitted the same to MEELAL.
Ibomcha also agreed to refund the amount to the wo-man within February 18, he said.
Saying that MEELAL and ZEO Zone I are maintaining cordial relations, Tomba expressed concern over corrup- tion done by Ibomcha.
Although, the ZEO office has issued an order to arrange Meetei Mayek teachers for Government schools, official recruitment process is yet to be started.
Tomba also urged the general public to inform MEELAL if anybody tries to take money for providing Meetei Mayek teacher's job.
