According to a statement of HRI issued by its Administrator Manoj Thokchom, the represen-tation signed by Progra-mme Coordinator of HRI S Sanatampha was submitted to the Governor's Secreta-riat on February 9.It was mentioned that Th Ibobi was the Project Director of Loktak Development Authority (LDA) and he is allegedly involved in the multi-crore scam of cleaning Loktak Lake undertaken by Delhi-based K-Pro Infra Works Private Limited.
