Imphal, January 03 2010:
Tousem Village Authority expressed reservations over the alleged negligence of project officers and AO of IAY scheme under DRDA Tamenglong.
A press release of the VA said that a total amount of Rs 250,00,000 has been lapsed under the scheme due to faulty account maintainence and late submission of claim proposal to the Central Government.
A total of 659 houses could be constructed under the scheme during 2008-2009, the press release said.
Maintaining that the benefits of the scheme have not reached deserving villagers, the VA alleged that the concerned officials select their close relatives and friends, including from APL families, as beneficiaries.
The DC has also failed to take up any action against such mismanagement, the VA alleged.
