Imphal, October 24 2015 :
The Mino-rity Sagei Apunba Lup (MSAL) has accused Agri-culture and Fishery Minister Abdul Nasir of misappro-priating the lion's share of the funds allotted to Lilong Assembly segment for several welfare programmes.
Speaking to media persons at Lilong today, MSAL Lilong Kendra general secretary Md Nasir Ali said that it is only the Lilong A/C which still remains quite backward in all sphere of public life despite having a Cabinet Minister.
Conditions of roads and bridges are pathetic, people are no longer getting any benefits of several schemes taken up by MOBC and PDS items have not been distributed to public in time.
Moreover, instead of developing infrastructure of schools and colleges, Abdul Nasir has been indirectly engaging himself in contract works by sending out his own men for several contract works, alleged Nasir Ali.
It is Minister Nasir's own men who are executing the contract work of expanding certain sections of Imphal-Moreh highway.
Rather than ensuring equitable distribution of PDS items, the Minister has been forfeiting people's share of PDS items for three/four months altogether while the rightful beneficiaries are given PDS items only for a single month, he alleged.
He also blamed the Minister for misusing MLA Local Area Development Fund.
