Churachandpur District Chiefs' Association has today called on the State Government to release Rs 66,47,00,000 sanctioned by the Ministry of Rural Development on November 17, reports our correspondent.
While briefing mediapersons, members of the association produced a photocopy of the sanctioned letter which asked the State Government to release the fund within three days.
The association said that the letter had asked the State Government to transfer the fund along with the State Government's share to the State Employment Guarantee Fund for programme implementation within 3 days.
In case of non-transfer beyond this period, the Central Government may be constrained to stop further releases.
It said that despite the instruction, the State Government is yet to release the fund to the public.
