Imphal, July 30 2024: The Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) has said that it is the responsibility of the Government to make sure the 10 Kuki MLAs attend the Assembly session which will commence tomorrow under tight security measures and work out a solution to the protracted crisis in Manipur.

Speaking to the media while inspecting the cold storage facility at Nilakuthi Food Park, MPCC president K Meghachandra continued that the House session is the right platform for all the legislators to discuss the prevailing situation in Manipur and resolve the crisis.

Saying that involvement of the Prime Minister and other Central leadership is needed to conduct the House session in full strength, the Congress leader reiterated that the responsibility to ensure the participation of the Kuki MLAs in the Assembly sessions lies with the Government.

Violence is not the answer to the unrest which the State has been witnessing post the evening of May 3, 2023, he added.

Meghachandra said that the Congress party is all prepared to raise several issues of Manipur during the Assembly session.

Meanwhile, the MPCC chief said that the cold storage plant has not been functioning properly since about nine years back and the same is unfortunate.

Saying that they came for spot verification to raise the issue at the food park during the Assembly session, he added the cold storage facility was set up about nine years back so that farmers could store their perishable produce by paying a small fee.

The report published by the Comptroller and Auditor General mentioned about the non functioning of the cold storage plant at Nilakuthi, he said, accusing the State Government of not monitoring various schemes which will benefit the people.
