Lyngdoh, who is currently in Japan, said the issue has to be resolved with the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
According to her, MHIS State Level Executive Officer, Ram Kumar will be travelling to Delhi to resolve the issue on his return from Japan.
“I would need to meet the CM to discuss the matter. We will try to sort it out at the earliest,” the minister assured.
She said that the problem concerning pending dues of the MHIS is an annual phenomenon.
