Imphal, September 22 2009:
Under the Government of India's Multi-sectoral Development Programme and as a part of the indira Awaj Yojana CI sheets have been handed over to 120 beneficiaries shortlisted from Ukhrul district today.
The roof-covering material were distributed at a simple programme at Ukhrul district's Mini Secretariat complex in the presence of Chingai AC's MLA Dr Khasim Ruivah and the district's Deputy Commissioner N Ashok Kumar.
In his speech, the MLA strongly recommended that beneficiaries utilise the material in construction of their houses rather than trade-off the same to traders.
The DC, speaking at the occasion, asserted that he would tour villages within a week to monitor/oversee whether the distributed material is used for the purpose.
