Imphal, May 30 2019:
The All Manipur VDF Welfare Association Central Committee organised a meeting cum press meet at Manipur Press Club today which was attended by All Manipur VDF Guardian Association general secretary Y Indrani, association advisor and AMWJU former president Wangkhemcha Samjai and legend advisor Dr O Chaoba Meitei.
During the event, general secretary of All Manipur VDF welfare Association Central Committee, Md Riyaj Khan said that the extension order for VDFs, which is usually issued at around February and March, has not been issued till date and despite repeated appeals to the authorities concerned, there has been no positive development even till now.
Explaining that the failure to issue the order has resulted in the VDF personnel failing to get their honorarium for around two months, Md Riyaj Khan said that the service validity for the VDF personnel expired on March 31 and added that as such, the VDF will not take part in any official duty.
He then demanded the authorities concerned to issue the extension order at the earliest and to pay the pending honorarium before June 5.If the authorities concerned fail to do so, then from June 6, all VDF personnel will stop their duties, he cautioned.
