Imphal, July 31 2016:
BJP Manipur Pradesh executive member Y
Khemchand has questioned why the State Government has not
provided even a morsel of rice to the people of Singjamei AC under
National Food Security Act (NFSA) till today although distribu-
tion of rice had already begun in neighbouring Assembly
segments.
Speaking at a public meeting held at his residence,
Khemchand said that no Fair Price Shop to distribute NFSA
rice had been opened at the AC till date.
Questioning where the rice quota of Singjamei AC had
been diverted, Khemchand expressed concern over maintain-
ing silence by the Government although huge quantity of rice
meant for distribution to the people under NFSA are available
in the market.
Alleging that Congress workers are directly involved in the
distribution of NFSA ration cards, Khemchand said that it is
high time to constitute a committee by the people of Singjamei
AC against such activities.
Saying that the Government is yet to ascertain the exact
number of NFSA beneficiaries of the AC, Khemchand said
that he would seek information through RTI in this regard
soon.
