Imphal, August 14 2016:
Over ten thousand Village Defence Force
(VDF) personnel are eyeing the upcoming
Monsoon Session for fulfilment of their de-
mands including pay hike, reports our
correspondent.
Addressing the general meeting today at
KKL complex, L Diben Singh, president,
All Manipur VDF Welfare Association said
they have, on several occasions, listed their
grievances to the State Government but are
yet to receive any positive result.
Exuding confidence that the State Gov-
ernment will table the October resolution
during the upcoming Assembly Session, L
Diben Singh said the association will have
no choice but to launch a new agitation if
their optimism is to be snubbed by the State
Government again.
The central committee of the VDF, he
said, is working for the Cabinet resolution
to be positively taken up during the
Monsoon Session but noted that more than
ten-thousand VDF personnel should be pre-
pared to meet any outcome.
