Imphal, October 12:
BJP MLA from Ukhrul assembly Constituency Danny Shaiza demanded that State Government initiate immediate action and book all guilty persons of concerned department and the SK construction agency alleged to be involved in misusing fund earmarked for road maintenance of Ukhrul district.
A press statement of the MLA, who is also the Chief Whip of the party legislature wing, termed the siphoning off of Rs 80 lakhs without executing a single work by the PWD as intriguing and maintained that such misconduct tantamount to belittling the aspiration of the district people.
Ukhrul town, the district headquarters has been bereft of any maintenance works on the plea of financial constraints faced by the State.
However, it is shocking that roads hardly traversed by the public had been charged of Rs 80 lakhs without a single stroke of spade being dug, said Shaiza.
He also rubbished the contention of works Minister that the fund misuse matter has been referred to the Vigilance Department as an eyewash to fool the Ukhrul district public.
