Imphal, February 06 2014:
Reacting to the news report of Hueiyen Lanpao under the headline "H&FWD DDO rendered powerless", the HOO/DDO of Health & Family Welfare Department Dr Th Arunkumar has clarified that there is no question of deprivation of his official powers and duties as DDO and there was delay in taking over the charge of DDO from his predecessor Dr B Tarunkumar due to some training programme at JNIMS.
Director of Family Welfare Services Dr Okram Ibomba also clarified that Dr Arunkumar was not mentally prepared to take over the charge of DDO and so he was given time for his preparedness.
In the meantime, former DDO Dr Tarunkumar, who is due to retire on February 28 this month, was only made to sign cash books and cheques in consideration of some urgent financial transactions of the Department.
