Robert Singh Kshetrimayum, Deputy
Commissioner Chandel in a press meet today
said some individuals have falsely accused
him of exercising power in shifting the site
for the construction of a 2500 MT capacity
FCI godown from Liwa Khullen to Laiching
Khunman when choosing or relocating a site
for construction of the FCI godown is well
beyond the power and authority of a DC.
Setting the record straight, the Deputy
Commissioner maintained that the new site
for construction of 2500 MT capacity FCI
godown was identified by the officials of the
concerned department and as per the instruc-
tion from the department, the schedule of
land and value of land were furnished to the
concerned authority.
The Deputy Commissioner further said
that he has no power whatsoever to choose
a site or relocate.
