IMPHAL, April 6: The banned Revolutionary Front (RPF) has appealed to the people of the state to ensure widespread observation and massive participation on the occasion of “World Health Day” tomorrow and stressed on providing proper health facility to the elderly persons in the state.

A statement of the proscribed outfit has stated that the government has been investing huge amounts of money in recruiting police and VDF personnel, however it has been ignoring the health and education sector.

Dubbing the Old Age Pension Scheme a tool to woo the elderly people for election process, RPF said such scheme is only for namesake and is a nonsense policy which lacks meaning and quality.

There is a close relation between providing health facility to the aged people and lending them a good life, the outfit said, adding that the RPF considers that it is wholly dependent on the people as well as the efforts of those working in health centres to make the elderly persons to contribute something for the society during their remaining life.

The RPF also expressed confidence that the people of Manipur would recieve at least some advantage from the World Health day 2012 observation.
