Alarmed over reports of non-completion of projects sanctioned under the Rs 100.71 crore Central funds received by Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) under Special Plan Assistance, United Democratic Party (UDP), Garo Hills unit has sought information under RTI where the money was utilised.The sanction was made to GHADC which was then ruled by NPP-led Garo Hills Progressive Alliance (GHPA).
“We have received reports of misutilisation of funds under SPA. If it is true then we are going to demand very strict action against those responsible for the misutilisation as the funds were for development of Garo Hills,” UDP West Garo Hills youth wing president said.
Non-completion of various projects was detected by the current Congress-led coalition. A number of FIRs have been filed against contractors. The RTI was filed on Monday in the GHADC office in Tura.
