Imphal, March 23 2009:
The Fair Price Shop Agent Association, Senapati district has decried the reported non-distribution of PDS items for the month of March, November and December 2008 and from January to March this year and for fourteen villagers of Mao A/C for the months of January and February this year.
A press release issued by the Association alleged that the agents were made to deposit requisite money for the monthly quotas within the fixed dates but were rejected after expiry date.
The agents were also peeved with the notification issued by the FCS Department on March 19 which directed FPS agents of Karong A/C, Mao A/C and Tadubi A/C to deposit the costs of BPL and AAY rice for the month of December by March 20 at the latest.
The association also appealed to the authority concerned to look into the matter and redress their difficulties at the earliest.
