Imphal, June 14 2016:
Even as the National Food Security Act
(NFSA) has been enforced in the State, no ration under the Act has
been distributed to beneficiaries of Andro, said senior BJP leader
Dr Nimaichand Luwang.
Addressing media persons today at the State BJP office
located at Nityapat Chuthek, Dr Nimaichand said that the Act
has been properly implemented at Jiribam in the entire State.
He said that MLAs' intervention in preparation of benefi-
ciary cards and distribution of rice is unneeded.
Their role is
restricted to opening of fair price shop and ensuring to reach
rice to the agents.
The breaking of law by the legislators in this regard is
highly condemnable, he added.
The reports about non-receive of rice under the Act which
appear in newspapers on daily basis is a testimony that the
NFSA is not properly implemented in the State, Dr
Nimaichand said .
