Imphal, July 10 2015 :
For construction of a tourist home at Siroy, Ukhrul district, a sum of Rs 43,86,938 has been released so far including the first installment of Rs 20 lakh sanctioned in 2005 .
This was stated by Chief Minister O Ibobi in response to a query raised by Samuel Risom during question hour today.
Another sum of Rs 33,24,791 would be sanctioned through the State Tourism Department.
However, the department is not in a position to sanction money needed for construction of compound fence and entrance gate of the tourist home, Ibobi confided.
Responding to a query raised by Dr I Ibohalbi regarding the death of one N Rebika of Heirok Part II Tomal Makhong, Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam assured that due legal measures would be taken up.
Police should frame a charge sheet and submit it to the Session Court through Public Prosecutor but evidence are required in order to avoid loopholes.

A sum of Rs 2.50 lakh has been deposited in bank under surrender cum rehabilitation scheme of UG cadres.
Under the same scheme, all surrendered UG cadres are paid monthly stipend of Rs 4000 apart from imparting vocational training, Gaikhangam informed the House while responding to query put up by Samuel Risom.
Replying to a question raised by L Ibomcha, Chief Minister O Ibobi stated that the Imphal Municipal Corporation is being run in the model of a corporation under the Manipur Municipal Act 1994 .
However, Ibomcha contended that the word 'corporation' was not found in the Manipur Municipal Act 1994 .
Ibobi clarified that the Manipur Municipal Act 1994 was passed by the Parliament when Manipur was under President's Rule.
There is no harm in passing the Act afresh by the Manipur Legislative Assembly.
There would be only one difference of appointing the Chairperson or the Mayor through direct election or indirectly when the Imphal Municipal Council is converted into a corporation.
If the Chairperson/Mayor is appointed through direct election, he/she cannot be removed for the next five years.
If it is otherwise, he/she can be removed any time.
The matter is being looked into, Ibobi added.
