Imphal, Nov 2: Manipur Proletariat Peoples’ Democratic Union (MPPDU) has drew the attention of the Chief Minister of Manipur over the issue of non availability of items under Public Distribution System (PDS) to the beneficiaries.
In a statement by Asem Suranjoy, Joint Secretary, MPPDU, the organisation said that even as the new government has been seriously working out to root out corruption and other irregularities, many are still left out. Peoples share under the PDS has not been properly distributed. The MPPDU warned the government of dire consequences if the trend continues.
