Imphal, July 22 2016 :
Although NFSA was officially launched in the
State in April this year, beneficiaries of Ningthi
village under Kamjong Block have been de-
prived of the benefit, stated NS Shimray,
headman of Ningthi village.
Following the implementation of NFSA
in the State, non-distribution of rice to the
card holders has enraged the villagers.
NS Shimray told this correspondent that
NFSA rice has not been distributed to the
beneficiaries of Ningthi village while the
same benefit was provided to all the benefi-
ciaries in all the villages of the State.
Allotted rice quota is 55.5 quintals for
150 ration card holders of Ningthi village.
In spite of repeated requests, the FPS agent
failed to response.
The beneficiaries have
demanded immediate suspension of the FPS
agent concerned.
Irregularities in distribution
of NFSA rice have been reported in some
villages of Ukhrul district as well, he said.
According to a reliable source, NFSA rice
has been sold at an exorbitant rate in some
villages of the district despite the rate fixed
by the Government.
NS Shimray appealed to
the district administrator to look into the
matter and replace the FPS agent immediately .
