Imphal, April 05 2011:
The CBI has started investigating the case of regularisation of contract employees in District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) by using a fabricated letter of the Union Minister concerned.
Notably, MPP MLA O Joy had highlighted the issue in the recent Budget session of the State Assembly by raising a call attention motion and sought the attention of the Chief Minister to resolve the issue.
In his response, the Chief Minister had clarified that the State Cabinet's decision to regularise the DRDA employees had not been implemented.
The Cabinet decision was being kept in abeyance as it was not clear which letter was the genuine one, the one sent by Union Minister CP Joshi or the other sent by Director Jagdish.
The Chief Minister also confided that the matter would be investigated as it involved both Central and State Ministers.
It is reported that a CBI team has launched an enquiry into the issue.
