Chandel, October 17 2014 :
Discontented with the State Government's holding of the Border Region Grant Fund 2014-15 for Chandel district amounting to Rs.12.15 Cr which the Centre had released on July 22 last, the District Vigilance Committee (VC) Chandel has urged the state Government to release the same to the DRDA Chandel soon.
A press statement signed by DVC Chandel President BD Betha said non-release of the fund in time would again lead to lapse of the fund due to late submission of utilization certificates by the respective DRDA, as the three districts - Churachandpur, Senapati and Chandel had experienced in the previous years.
'The final bill for construction of ring well under MOBC programme for the year 2008-09 is not yet released', asserted the statement, while adding that similar schemes like financial assistance for housing have also been neglected and kept pending by the competent authority.
It appealed to the minister concerned to look into the matter and consider the welfare of the minorities and backward people genuinely.
