Speaking to The Sangai Express, source from within the Social Welfare Department said that a particular militant outfit had demanded that the fund released for the months of May, June and July, 2009, for providing cooked food to Anganwadi children, should be returned to them.
The militant outfit issued this ultimatum on the contention that the money released for this purpose have been misutilised, said sources.
Cheques were issued to the respective CDPOs for providing the cooked food to the children, said sources and added that the CDPOs in turn issued cheques to the respective Self Help Groups for implementation of the same.
To appeal for the safe release of the abducted official, employees of the Social Welfare Department today staged a sit-in today at its head office.
Organised by the JAC of Social Welfare Employees Association, the employees put up placards appealing for the safe release of Th Muhindro.
During the sit-in, the Director of the Department fervently appealed for the safe release of the official and assured that if there were any loopholes in the implementation of the cooked food programme, it would be rectified.
