Imphal, January 31 2014 :
All Manipur School Management and Development Committee Association (AMSMADCA) charged the Education Minister's statement issued in local papers on January 30 which stated that all the SSA's construction works were entrusted to SMDCs.
According to a statement issued by Horngam Keishing, President, AMSMADCA, funds for 10 Primary Schools in Ukhrul district which were released on January 15 last can no longer be traced.
It further stated that Rs 24 crore meant for KGBV and residential schools had been illegally deposited in the Engineering section despite the fact that SSA civil works cannot be initiated without prior consent from the PAB and against the Manipur High Court verdict.
The statement further added that the formation of SMDC with DPM as the convenor and Deputy Commissioner shielding the DPM, have lower the confidence of the people in them.
In case the discrepancies are not rectified, the association will initiate a decisive step to punish the culprits, the statement said.
