Imphal, July 01 2014:
Pointing out that rift amongst villagers of Chingai Block, Ukhrul district has cropped up after the construction works of schools under Chingai Block under SSA were handed over to the Ad-hoc School Development Committee, the School Management Development Committee (SMDS) has cautioned that any untoward incident arising thereof should be the sole responsibility of MLA of Chingai.
Addressing a press meet at Hotel Tampha at North AOC here yesterday, T Saka, president of SMDC said that kacha building of all primary schools under Chingai Bloack was to be replaced by new building following upgradation of EGS under SSA in 2010 and for this, an order was issued for handing over a sum of Rs 8 lakh sanctioned for the construction works to workers of MLA and committee known to them.
He stated that SMDC filed a case to High Court against the handing over of the construction works to an incompetent committee following which an order was issued by the court to hand over the same work to SMDC.
Saying that Ad-hoc School Development Committee was entrusted with the construction works despite the order of the court, he alleged that the sanctioned amount for the construction works was distributed at the residential quarter of Preshow Shimray, MLA Chingai A/C who is also the Deputy Speaker.
He then appealed to the concerned authority to intervene into the matter and find out wrongdoings of the MLA failing which the committee will file a complaint to HRD.
