Imphal, June 30 2021:
While appreciating the initiatives of Bazar community such as Milan Enterprises, Satyam Group of Industries and Marwari Samaj for arranging meals for inmates of different Covid Care Centres in the state, Thangmeiband MLA Kh Joykisan has called upon MLAs and ministers to come forward and provide free meals to the CCC inmates from their sides as well.
The MLA paid a visit to Marwari Dharmasala in Thangal Keithel on Wednesday where foods for distribution to CCC inmates are being prepared.
Interacting with the media there, the MLA said that Sandeep Jain of Milan Group of Enterprises is playing a key role in providing lunch to the CCC inmates for around 15 days.
Now Marwari Samaj and Satyam Group of Industries proprietor Sanjay are continuing the Samaritan act, he said and assured to provide local rice to the Bazar community for preparing lunch for CCC inmates.
He then asked MLAs and ministers or at-least 10 of their supporters to come forward and feed the CCC inmates during their isolation period.
Most of the family members of Covid patients in CCCs are facing immense hardships in delivery food for their family members.
Besides, they are coming out from containment zones, which is in itself a loophole to the containment measures being taken up by the government.
The MLAs cannot solely rely on local area development fund to fight the pandemic since the government is facing financial constraint.
They should spend from their own pockets to fight the crisis even if there is shortage of fund with the government, he said.
Earlier, he used to provide meal and breakfast only for patients from his constituency at RD Wing but he will cover patients from other constituencies too, Joykisan said and urged the patients to inform him by taking his mobile number from the doctors posted there.
