The state government will announce special scheme for the differently-abled persons and widows within this month, informed chief minister, N. Biren during a press briefing after his monthly interaction with hill people held today.

 Around 500 people including civil voluntary organisation leaders, village authority executives and village chiefs of hill areas brought 191 complaints to the notice of chief minister on the 6th hill leaders’ day today.

The chief minister interacted with this huge number of visitors from 9 am to 1 pm.

Biren Singh said apart from several individual matters, problems like absence of government officials and poor infrastructure in hill areas were mainly brought to his notice.

Stating that many people, who came pleaded him to help them in the construction of their houses, N. Biren said that the entitled benefits of different schemes are seemingly not reaching the targeted population.

As such, he had convened a review meeting of PMAY scheme, he informed. N. Biren further said that he had directed the authority concerned to serve explanation call to the officials who do not attend office regularly.

Regarding infrastructure requirements which could not be reflected in the last State budget, he contended that he had instructed the DCs concerned to send a proposal each to the State planning department.

Meanwhile, attending the closing ceremony of Manipur Police Quasquicentennial Football Cup 2017 held at 2nd MR Ground, Imphal today, N. Biren said that the State government would develop 2-3 playgrounds by laying astro turf (artificial turf) in the State soon so that the players could play football all around the year.

The tournament was organised by Manipur police department in connection with the 125th anniversary of Manipur Police.

 Speaking as chief guest of the function, chief minister lamented that if Guwahati can host the World Cup match then why Manipur was not given an opportunity to host even a single match of the ongoing FIFA U-17 World Cup 2017.

Hailing the Indian Football Team for their wonderful performance in the ongoing U-17 World Cup, Shri N. Biren Singh said that apart from some technical know-how on how to play in crucial moments and more maturely, the overall performance of the Team is good. He further stated that tiny State, Manipur, has a lot of potential in terms of promoting football as many players are representing the country at various international tournaments.

Further he continued that unlike the past now people feel the sense of security when they see police in streets and realize that police are the saviour of the people. Stating that Manipur police is performing their duties with discipline, he stressed that various initiatives being taken up by the department are people oriented and certain initiatives like community policing etc. have successfully implemented and maintained a good and cohesive relationship with the people.

Chief Minister urged the different Sports Associations of the State to step forward and co-ordinate with the State Government so that we could mould good and potential players in the State.

 Addressing his presidential speech, minister for youth affairs and sports, Letpao Haokip said that it is very delightful and heartening to see that 8 players from the State are representing the country at the U-17 FIFA World Cup 2017.

Minister further stated that it is the responsibility of the police personnel to make people aware that police are there to protect people from harm and help at bad times.
