T. Bhimo, director of JNIMS, said, “The senior residents should give some time to the JNIMS authority to complete the paper works”.

Meanwhile, the Chief Minister said, “It will be better if the matter is settled over the negotiating table. The services of the doctors come under the ESMA.”

He added, “If the rule permits the doctors have their democratic right to agitate. If the rules do not permit there is nothing the government could do.”

Biren Singh further said, “There are many persons including myself who feel ashamed of disclosing that we are from Manipur. It is unheard of anywhere that some people went to the high court against the extension of benefits to needy people. Does it mean that these people do not want the state government to extend benefits and services to the people?”

Biren Singh has been meeting the needy people two days in a month during which they (the needy) raise their grievances.
