A sit-in protest demonstration against unequal allocation of Backward Region Grant Fund (BRGF) Scheme 2013-14 was held at Chandel District Headquarters today.
The protest was organised by District Vigilance Committee in collaboration with BJP Chandel Mandal demanding immediate rectification from Chairman ADC/DRDA Chandel with regard to unequal allocation of BRGF fund.
During the demonstation, the protestors were seen holding placards which read "we want equal implementation & equal treatment, apply guideline of BRGF, Chairman ADC resign immediately, Mr.Chairman Stop favouritism" .
Speaking to media on the the sidelines of the protest, Bd.
Betha, President of District Vigilance Committee, said that the protest demonstration was held following the failure of competent authorities to response positively to the memorandum submitted to Chairman ADC/DRDA Chandel regarding unjust allocation of funds under BRGF last December.
He also warned that of intensifying the agitation if the authority fails to give a response even after the protest demonstration.
Moreover, a joint team from the Committee and BJP will start campaigning at the Centre to stop funding under BRGF Scheme in the State, Betha disclosed.
