Ngangbam Nungshi further stated that failure to properly implement the schemes and projects for weavers launched by the Indian Govt had led to delay in submission of Utilisation Certificates (UC). As a result, no more schemes/projects were allocated for the weavers, she asserted.
Citing these issues, she made an earnest appeal to the concerned Minister and department to look into the matter promptly.
