IMPHAL, July 6: The controversial advertisement for the post of RIMS director released by the Ministry of Health & Home Affairs came up for discussion in the Manipur Legislative Assembly today with MLA Dr. Ibohalbi Singh putting up a short notice question to the head of the department concerned, in this case the Chief Minister, Okram Ibobi Singh.

The MLA asked if it was a fact that contrary to earlier decision taken to raise the superannuation age of the Director RIMS to 65 years, the Deputy Director (Admn), RIMS had indicated the age of the superannuation of Director RIMS would be 62 years in its latest advertisement dated June 24, 2015 for candidacy to the post of Director RIMS.

The simple answer from the Chief Minister, was yes.

Upon further queries whether it was also a fact that the 42nd Executive Council Meeting of RIMS held on August 8, 2011 decided and fixed the age of the superannuation of Director at 65 years, the chief minister answered that such a decision had been taken by the Executive Council Meeting on August 5, 2011.

To the subsidiary question if the 43rd meeting of the same council reaffirmed the resolution of its 42nd meeting, the chief minister`™s answer was in the affirmative.
