Imphal, October 17 2013:
Three individuals of Tousem subdivision, Tamenglong district have lodged a complain with the SP (Vigilance) against alleged illegal and fraudulent withdrawal of compensation amount for three beneficiaries for the construction of 132/33 KV powerlines in Tamenglong district.
The petitioners, Khuma of Muktokhal village, Kama Singson of Phaitol village and Khuplen of Tatbung village of Tousem subdivision have said that the award for land acquisition was announced by the District Collector (LA), Tamenglong in connection with the construction of 12 132/33 KV powerlines in Tamenglong district.
Shocked at the delayed disbursal of the compensation amount, the beneficiaries enquired the matter to the Collector Office.
It was later found that the amount has already been withdrawn by the District Collector in collusion with SDO Tousem and an individual namely Seilun Singson s/o Thangkhomang Singson of Phaitol village, Tousem subdivision and possessed the money illegally and wrongfully as their own money thereby causing wrongful loss to the genuine beneficiaries, the petitioners said.
