Imphal, November 14 2014 :
The State Government has often held up funds for developmental works in Tamenglong district, thereby leading to lapses of fund on several occasions, alleged Zeliangrong Youth Front (AMN).
In a statement, Poukhamlung Palmei, Information and Publicity Secretary of ZYF (AMN) said that holding up of centrally sponsored schemes or development funds especially of the lapsable schemes amounts to denying developmental works in Tamenglong district.
The concerned department dealing in fund releasing for taking up development works should not be an obstruction and impediment to releasing of fund especially time bound one rather it should be pro-development and play a facilitating role considering the necessity to develop the district, added the statement.
Alleging that the State Govt.is indulging in delaying tactics in releasing the centrally sponsored MSDP fund for the year 2013 without any specific reason despite the lapsed of one year, the statement asserted that there is possibility of fund lapsable in case of further delaying.
Huge amount of development funds had lapsed many times in the past, therefore any fund lapse if happened again from now onwards shall be the responsibility of the State Government, it added.
