Imphal, March 27, 2014:
The Canaan Veng Administrative Committee under Unit XI of HTC, Moreh Ward No 7 has said that few individuals have formed a fake SMDC and opened an account at SBI Moreh in the name of SSA Primary School, Canan Veng Moreh without the knowledge and concern of the local authority which has managed the SMDC for the past few years.
A statement issued by the Canaan Veng AC said that a sum of Rs 9, 98, 000 has been credited by the department concerned to the alleged fake SMDC account.
The same bank account was closed soon after the withdrawal of the money.
Neither the fund has been utilised for construction of the school building nor any teacher joined the school till date, it said while appealing the department concerned and responsible students' organisations to take necessary action at the earliest.
Meanwhile, a separate statement issued by the KSO Moreh has urged all SMDCs of SSA Primary School, Moreh to utilise the money released by the Govt properly for construction of the school building.
Informing that the KSO would inspect the school concerned during the first week of April, the statement warned of taking up strong action in case the fund is found to be misused by the Construction Committee.
The KSO also announced to streamline and reform education policy in Moreh town in collaboration with HTC, while seeking the cooperation of all concerned towards this end.
