Imphal, October 14 2012:
Zeliangrong Boudi, Jiri Zone has said that the allegation levelled by G Kalanchung of Oinamlong village regarding siphoning off of compensation amount with regards to erection of 400 KV power line is totally baseless.
In a press release, Boudi Convenor Pousing Kamei said that the Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd is constructing/erecting power line towers in the districts of Tamenglong and Senapati to connect power supply from Silchar to Imphal.
As learnt from different sources, Pousing Kamei said, the revenue staff from the District Collector's office, Tamenglong had visited Oinamlong village to assess the damage of standing crops and identified the farm owners through Village Chairman KG Builungpou.
Accordingly, a list of the claimants was prepared by the Village Authority and submitted the same to SDO, Tousem Sub-Division, he added.
Pousing Kamei further clarified that he was not directly or indirectly involved in the distribution of compensation amount and preparation of beneficiary list as he was not the authorised person.
The Convenor added that he is just a sub-contractor who is being involved in the construction of towers of 400 KV power line under Power Grid Corporation of India and M/s IVRCL.
Zeliangrong Boudi, Jiri Zone also strongly warned Kalanchung that stern action would be initiated against him according to the customary law if he fails to clarify the matter at the earliest.
