Imphal, June 15 2015 :
A joint meeting of community leaders and civil society organisations of both the hills and valley was held today where a new body named the Joint Redressal Committee Manipur (JRCOM) was set up with the primary objective of streamlining implementation of Public Distribution System in Manipur.
According to a press release issued by JRCOM president Yumnamcha Dilipkumar, it has been quite a long time since the people of Manipur have not been getting their due share of PDS items such as rice, sugar, flour, dal, SK Oil etc.
JRCOM has already decided to launch mass movements on the issue of transforming PDS items into trading commodities by some influential people at the expense of the vast majority.
However, the exact mode of mass movements would be announced after holding a mass meeting on June 19 .
It further informed that Romeo Bungdon (Anal) has been elected secretary general of JRCOM.
