Thoubal, October 15 2021:
The office of Zonal Education Officer Zone-III Thoubal is filled to the brim with filth.
The statement was made by Thokchom Muhindro, ward member of GP 15/3, Khangabok Part-III in reference to Laipat Leikai Primary School of Khangabok Part-III which commenced construction in February of 2014 and is yet to achieve completion to this day.
He added that the incomplete school is already crumbling due to years and years of neglect and as such the residents of Khangabok Part-III are forcefully being deprived of the benefits this school would have brought to their community.
He stated that there has been a scandal surrounding certain persons working in cahoots with the ZEO Zone-III Thoubal who appropriated Rs 10 lakh sanctioned for construction of the school.
Complaints had been made through the media to inform the people but to no avail.
Th Muhindro continued that they had approached the Chief Minister who kindly referred their case to the Anti Corruption Cell, however, that didn't lead to any progress either.
He appealed to the Chief Minister and Education Minister to recognise their plight and requested them to find out the persons who misused the funds sanctioned for construction of the school and take up necessary actions against them.
The Ward Member further appealed to the authorities concerned to address this issue and questioned how a department that is supposed to work for the welfare of students accomplish anything positive when it's office is embroiled in such dirty dealings defying their set responsibilities.
