Lamka, May 13: Though the successful distribution of relief rice by the district administration to all interior parts of the district is appreciable, the manner of distribution of cash component and agriculture input subsidy by officials has surprised one and all.
In this connection, the ZOMI Economic Planning and Development Agency, ZEPADA, in a release today said that Thanlon SDO/BDO distributed all the said components and subsidy at Churachandpur police station citing reasons that police personnel were unable to provide enough security.
Mautam affected poor people from farflung areas who are the beneficiaries have been compelled to travel long distances with many expenses and most of them covered about 200 kms just to collect their share of relief money, said the ZEPADA.
If the deployment of army battalion at Thanlon subdivisional heaquarters and three army check posts along the NH-150 are not enough to provide security to the officials, what about the common man's security in the area, questioned the release.
While rueing the complete failure of the government to put in place all civil administration in the subdivision headquarters it reiterated that all the relief rice could have been distributed to all the areas without any hitch.
Stating that there may be some nefarious attempts to squander the money on the part of the officials, it questioned again why should the little amount of money make the life of the officials vulnerable.
