Imphal, April 16 2013:
Vaoyang R Shimray, Headman of Longpi Kajui village, Ukhrul district has alleged that illegally appointed village chairman and secretary have misused Rs 24 Lakh sanctioned under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) for Kajui for the period from 25-07-2012 to 18-03-2013 .
Claiming that the village chairman and the secretary have been appointed illegally and they are not recognized authorities as per MGNREGS guidelines, R Shimray said in a statement that the matter has been reported to Deputy Commissioner, Ukhrul, Programme Officer and other concerned Sub-divisional officers on numerous occasions.
But, so far, no action has been taken, apart from the fact that no developmental work has been ever taken in Longpi Kajui village under this scheme.
