CAF & PD Department misappropriated rice meant for NFSA beneficiaries for July, alleges Congress MLA K. Ranjit

Sugnu Congress MLA Kangujam Ranjit has accused the CAF & PD Department of misappropriating rice provided under National Food Security Act, NFSA, for the month of July amid the tough times of COVID-19 pandemic.

The MLA made the allegations today while speaking to media at Chingtam Community Hall in Sugnu, where he was making arrangements for distribution of rice under Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, PMGKAY. He emphatically said, "people are suffering for the past 3 months owing to Corona Curfew". The local MLA claimed that the department has failed to give any befitted response when asked about the lost rice quota.

Congress MLA K. Ranjit demanded the BJP led State Government to take actions against the culprits involved in the misappropriation and to give back the allocated rice to the beneficiaries. He also announced that people of the constituency will get rice under PMGKAY stored at Chingtam Community hall, Sugnu along with rice under NFSA for the month of August within couple of days.

The local MLA informed that he has already deposited the required amount of money to the Department for procuring the rice quota meant for NFSA beneficiaries in his constituency for the month of August.
