Imphal, April 30 2022:
Reacting to the allegation levelled by Wangoi MLA Khuraijam Loken of not maintaining standard quality in the newly constructed class rooms of Paobitek High School, sub-contractor Longjam Bijando of Thiyam Leishangkhong, who undertakes the construction work, has clarified that construction of the classrooms is not yet completed.
Addressing a press meet on Saturday afternoon, Bijando explained that the class rooms are being constructed under Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) and not under School Fagathansi Mission.
The implementing agency had released only the first instalment of the fund and the construction work was stopped.
The ceiling work was also left incomplete and no formal handing - taking over has been done so far, he maintained.
Bijando also said that the misunderstanding could have been avoided had the MLA enquired about the work before issuing statement.
