Overview

  • RTI responses indicate Rs 23.21 crore was recorded as spent on 20 relief camps in Moirang between May 3, 2023 and August 25, 2025.
  • Itemised entries include Rs 11 lakh for televisions with DTH connections, Rs 2.1 crore for snack items, and over Rs 7.14 crore for toiletries, vegetables and spices.
  • The Congress argues the figures suggest inflated per-head costs and possible diversion of relief funds, and it seeks a judicial inquiry and a suo motu case against the responsible MLA.
  • The party names Moirang MLA T Shanti Singh and points to his frequent public distribution of supplies as a basis for suspicion.
  • RTI activists say their initial requests were denied by the State Chief Information Officer before partial data were released, and no official probe or rebuttal has been announced.
