The Sagolband Constituency Progressive Committee has alleged that a large amount of money sanctioned from the Rajya Sabha MP Local Area Development Fund for construction of a toilet complex and a recreational centre/park in Sagolband AC had been withdrawn without executing any work.
Speaking to media persons during an inspection trip to the said construction sites today, president of the committee O Nabakumar said that a large amount of money was sanctioned from the Rajya Sabha MP Local Area Development Fund by claiming that works on the recreational centre/park at Nepra Menjor Leikai and a toilet complex at Sagolband Moirang Leirak Machin have been completed.
The committee members alleged that the cost of the toilet complex is Rs 20 lakh while that of the park is Rs 15 lakh, and appealed to the authorities concerned to look into the issue of the missing funds at the earliest.

An incomplete structure stands at the site where the toilet is supposed to be constructed and a weed infested empty land m,arks the area where the park is supposed to be located.
