“Fund scarcity hindered IPR complex completion”
IMPHAL, November 1: The new IPR complex could not be completed as the construction was hindered by fund scarcity. That matter had already been discussed with the Chief Minister and the issue will be brought up again along with the current shortages of manpower in the department, said Parliamentary Secretary, Information and Public Relations (IPR), K Meghachandra Singh.
Meghachandra gave the assurances while speaking at the main IPR Day function held at its office at MSRTC complex. Similar observations were held at the district headquarters.
The department has been giving awareness to the public about the developmental projects and schemes being taken up by the state and central governments. It has served as a bridge connecting the government and the public by conveying their likes and dislikes, he further stated.
Expressing his gratitude on being invited at the observation, he urged the media fraternity to perform their duties whole heartedly.
As a part of the observance retired officials of DIPR and veteran journalists were honoured by presenting gifts.
