A group of 29 Public Distribution System (PDS) agents of Thongju A/C in a press meet held today at Khongman Zone V collectively has urged the authority concerned to issue July quota of PDS items so that the items reach the public in time.
Loken Oinam, a representative of the PDS agents informed media persons that the PDS items are yet to be issued to them despite request to the DSO to issue the items without any delay.
As per normal procedure, the agents had already deposited the requisite amount for the month of July.
The amount Rs 10,00,960, was deposited to the account of Director of Food and Civil Supplies.
However, the authority concerned has not taken up any step to release the items to the agents, he added.
He urged the State Government to look into the matter and ensure that the agents received the items.
