Imphal: Oinam Romen Singh handed out monthly pension payments to 76 people living with disabilities on Monday. The event took place at the All Manipur Disabled and Handicapped Persons Development Agency office in Singjamei Chingamakha Khsetri Leikai, Nambul Mapal, Imphal West. Romen, a PCC member of the Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee, has bankrolled this support for 15 years.
The recipients hail from various spots across the Singjamei Assembly Constituency. Romen insisted the help comes from a desire to see these people thrive rather than from a hunt for votes. He argued that the pension is a basic right instead of simple charity. He wants better social inclusion and equal footing for everyone. "He stressed that pension was a right rather than charity and called for ensuring dignity, equal opportunities and social inclusion for persons with disabilities."
Romen promised ongoing aid for the group. This includes help with mobility, medical care, skill training, and access to job programs. He also took a swing at the BJP-led government. He claimed they broke their word to pay 10,000 rupees to women before the Ningol Chakkouba festival, calling the move a hollow political play. Kakchingtabam Rajen Sharma and Heisnam Shyama attended the meeting alongside the grateful families.
