Imphal, May 07 2015 :
Lamlai constituency MLA Ksh Biren has been accused of holding back SSA fund meant for construction of three Primary School buildings in his constituency.
Construction of buildings for Chingkhei Lokmang Primary School, Kharasom Primary School and Yorabung Primary School started in November 2014 under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan.
Rs 2,82,510 was released in first phase for the construction, but the second phase amount has been allegedly delayed by MLA Ksh Biren, claimed Kharasom Primary School Head Master Y Ibochou at a press meet held at Manipur Press here on Thursday.
MLA Biren had also tried to take the first phase amount forcibly by using police personnel of Lamlai Police Station, he alleged.
He said the SSA Department had refused to release the second phase amount on January 16 this year, claiming MLA Biren had withheld the fund.
Ibochou appealed to the MLA not to disrupt the school construction work and demanded immediate release of the amount.
