ocial worker Alan Kamei has accused CEO and ADC members of Tamenglong district of misappropriating around Rs 18,20,32,072, which had been sanctioned under the 14th Finance Commission 2017-18 for various developmental works in the district.
Addressing a press meet held at the conference hall of MBC guest house on Thursday afternoon, Alan Kamei informed that the central government sanctioned around Rs 18,20,32,072 under the 14th Finance Commission 2017-18 for Tamenglong District.
Although the funds had been withdrawn by the district authority concerned, none of it was truly delivered to the entitled villages.
As such, an RTI query was filed.
"In response to the RTI query, several documents were provided and a case was filed at the Lok Ayukta in February last year.
As per the fact finding report, it came to light that funds had been withdrawn by the CEO and ADC members", Alan conveyed.
Thus, he urged the authority concerned to look into the matter and punish the person(s) responsible.
