Imphal Municipal Corporation Elected Ward Members' Forum has urged chief minister N Biren and MAHUD minister Y Khemchand to investigate into alleged collection of Rs 10,000 from beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna (PMAY)-Housing for All (Urban)-2O22, by proxy-agents from various wards.
In a release, Forum secretary E Chandikumar Singh suggested that the state government look into the corrupt practice at the earliest and reimburse the money to beneficiaries of the scheme which the IMC is the actual implementing agency.
The government should also take up stringent action against IMC officials and corporators who allegedly embezzled funds for construction of retaining wall of community ponds in IMC wards taken up under the 15th Finance Commission, 2020-21, it added.
