Imphal, April 30 2010:
The Manipur People's Party (MPP) has donated three bundles of GI sheets to a victim of the recent hailstorm that ravaged many parts of the State recently.
MPP General Secretary (Administration) N Sanajaoba handed over the GI sheets to Oinam Jamuna (48), wife of Oinam Biren (54) at their Kha Potsangbam Maning Leikai home today.
Jamuna's house was razed down by a furious storm on April 24 rendering the family homeless.
Speaking at the occasion, MPP Youth Front president Mutum Maniton said that the MPP's assistance to the hailstorm victim was aimed at awakening the State Government which has been allegedly turning a blind eye and doing nothing to help the poor families whose houses were either destroyed or vandalised by the recent hailstorms.
"MPP will help those unfortunate, poor victims in its own capacity", Maniton said.
Momocha, Jamuna's son, said that they did not receive any aid from the Government till date.
"Even as we sought some assistance from the local Pradhan, nothing has been forthcoming though Pradhan Lalit visited us once", Momocha said.
