Imphal, December 20 2012:
Responding to the allegation levelled by NSUC on Outer Manipur MP regarding 'bias' BRGF beneficiary list of Chandel district, the MP's PA has clarified that any proposal of works are being screened and approved by the district level committee/planning committee of all developmental works.
The Lok Sabha MP is the Chairman of District Vigilance and Monitoring Committee within his constituency and he has to propose only the allocated numbers of works which is duely approved by the DLC, clarified a statement issued by L Touthang, PA to Outer Manipur MP.
Maintaining that the Outer Manipur MP office did not receive any memorandum in regard to the alleged 'bias' list nor any suggestions from the NSUC till date, the statement also clarified that lists of beneficiaries of any scheme cannot be reviewed by the MP nor he has the authority to allocate works.
It further added that the authority to review or allocate the beneficiaries list might have been misunderstood in which chairman/ED DRDA, MLAs, MDCs and line departments are streamlining all developmental works.
