Imphal, February 21 2013:
The Kuki Chiefs' Association (KCA) Chandel district has forbade award of work orders to non local contractors under PMGSY in Chandel district.
Addressing a press meet today at H Kotlenphai, general secretary of KCA Chandel, N Sontah said awarding work orders to contractors other than local contractors would not be entertained.
He said any contractor who are given work orders under PMGSY should be first familiarised with the works.
Sontah said many development works have been taken up in the State sans quality maintenance.
As such, the people bear the brunt of such negligence on the part of the contractors.
Not only the contractors are elusive, they never bother to supervise the works on the ground, Sontah asserted.
If at all there is any work/project in Chandel district that has been executed sincerely, the authority concerned may point out the same to the KCA, Sontah dared.
Meanwhile, the Kuki Chief Association has also urged the concerned authority to furnish detailed reports of works to be executed under PMGSY in Chandel district before the commencement of any project.
The KCA had submitted a memorandum to this effect to the CM and concerned Minister yesterday.
