Imphal, December 07 2020:
The Department of Youth Affairs and Sports (YAS) has on December 5 informed that the Memorandum of Understanding executed between All India Football Federation (AIFF), All Manipur Football Association (AMFA) and YAS regarding Football Turf Ground near Khurai Thongkhong stands terminated until further orders.
The Director of YAS in a letter apprised the general secretary of AMFA that said MoU stands terminated for not respecting article 6 of the MoU which reads that a maintenance committee comprising of the members of the All Manipur Football Association (AMFA) and the representative of the State Government will constitute to look after the maintenance of the field/turf ground and the maintenance cost will be met from the revenue generated by letting out the ground.
As the article 6 of the MoU executed in the year 2010 has not been respected by the All Manipur Football Association, the MoU stands cancelled, said YAS Director in the letter.
The secretary was also reminded that no communication regarding a letter dated November 23 last from YAS Department has been received and it was thus presumed that the revenues generated from the turf ground is not judiciously spent.
However, AIFF, AMFA and YAS and the teams sponsored by the three will be allowed to use the Khuman Lampak Turf Ground (turf ground) after obtaining permission from the Director of the YAS, the letter read.
Further AMFA was instructed to hand over the key for the turf to the YAS Department and to shift all their storage (if any) from the turf ground.
