Chandel, February 06 2014:
District Vigilance Committee (DVC) Chandel district today hit back Chairman of ADC Lhukhosei Zou for his clarification on unequal allocation of Border Region Grant Fund (BRGF) in the local newspapers, saying it is himself (Lhukhosei Zou) who is fooling the general public of Chandel, the state and central Govt.Lhukhosei Zou, according to a statement issued by DVC President BD Betha Anal, has no proper knowledge of the guidelines but is beating the around the bush and went on to explain the types of monitoring which the Chairman himself misunderstood..
DVC said, BRGF is not only for filling gaps of infrastructure, but to bridge critical gaps and convergence with other schemes and development requirements that are not being adequately made through existing in flows.
Panchayats and Municipalities may use these funds for any purpose coming within the items that are devolved to them.
But the funds may not be used for religious structures or in the premises of religious institutions.
The process of decentralization of planning and implementation is not done at all with transparency in Chandel, Betha alleged.
"The Chairman in his statement said Fund allocation is done by a DPC'.
In this regard, the President of DVC countered that the Chairman might be true but calculation has been done by the Chairman himself and put it in the meeting for approval after which fund would be allotted to DPC members and MDCs only which is a clear indication of violating the guidelines as mentioned in Para 1.8, Para1.8 (b), Para1.9, Para 2.2.6.and Para 4.4.of the Guidelines.
Furthermore, reacting to a statement made by a beneficiary through local cable network, DVC asserted that the speaker was not at all a beneficiary, but a present Executive Member of ADC/Chandel, namely, Mohring.
