Beneficiaries allege they are being threatened with dire consequences if they seek audit
More than a year after RTI activists were forced to flee for seeking information on the utilisation of Central funds by the Autonomous District Council (ADC) of Senapati district, beneficiaries in another Manipur district are allegedly being threatened for demanding details on how the money for developmental projects has been spent. The work agencies and beneficiaries of projects sanctioned under the ADC of Tamenglong district have accused the council’s former Chief Executive Officer Dinganglung Gangmei and Chairman Namsinrei Panmei of misusing ₹1,802.28 crore received under the 14th Finance Commission of 2017-18. Work agencies are locals chosen by the ADC for executing a range of developmental projects.More Related News
