Imphal, December 04 2020:
Nambol Block Congress Committee general secretary (organisation), S Chandrakanta has alleged that there are gross irregularities in implementation of various projects by the Nambol Municipal Council (NMC).
Speaking to media persons today, he alleged that there are irregularities in the implementation of the second phase of housing schemes under the Prime Minister Awas Yojana.
He claimed that the Chairperson of the NMC has allegedly selected beneficiaries at his whim without going through proper channel.
Accusing the Chairperson of releasing a list of beneficiaries belonging to his Ward (No 9), Chandrakanta claimed that the Chairperson has no authority to select the beneficiaries.
The beneficiaries after verification should be selected and decided by a committee that includes Nambol AC MLA as Chairman, he said.
Further, 90 percent of funds have been released for construction of a work shed at the Solid Waste Management site at Nambol Kha, however there is little progress and the project is far from completion, he alleged.
