Imphal, July 16 2012:
Representatives of MLAs of Imphal West district have expressed deep concern over asking for percentage cut by different underground outfits from the SK oil meant for distribution to the general public through Public Distribution System.
In a press conference held at Manipur Press Club, a spokesperson of the representatives group said, KCP (MCChingsanglakpa), KCP (MC-Khaba), KCP (Noyon), MDF (Pari), PREPAK (Pro), RPF, UPPK, KYKL and URF had asked the representatives of Imphal West MLAs over the phone to hand over their share starting April this year.
However, the spokesperson added, the representatives do not have any idea on how many per cent would be deducted from the total SK oil for the armed outfits as these groups did not mention about the quantity of their share.
The spokesperson added that there is need for taking comments from the general public as well regarding the issue as the SK oil is meant for public distribution.
The representatives alone cannot decide regarding percentage cut for UG outfits, he added.
