TAKING SERIOUS note of non availability of District Social Welfare Office staff and non availability of officials dealing with the Widow Pension scheme in the office, the Zeliangrong Student Union Manipur and Zeliangrong Youth Front zone Tamenglong has asked officials of the department and ICDS officials to attend office within five days counting from May 13 .
Issuing widow pension scheme forms at Imphal for the people of Tamenglong is nothing but dishonour the people of the district and also against the government norm.
Meanwhile a highly place source inform the Hueiyen Lanpao that Widow Pension Scheme which was about to issued from Directorate of Social Welfare Department are issuing at MLA quarters and MDC (ADC) office in Imphal.
The District Social Welfare Office in Tamenglong is also remaining closed since long time.
Inquiry into the matter found that the District Social Welfare Officer, A Kameshore Singh has transfer to Bishnupur district recently, but the Bishnupur District Social Welfare Officer who has transferred to the district is yet to join at his new place of posting.
The ongoing process will deprive poor widows who have no means to go down to Imphal to collect form as the last date is due to expire by May 15, many observe.
