Dimapur, May 8 (MExN): The District Congress Committee Wokha (DCC) has called for a thorough, high-level investigation by competent authorities into the controversy over the PM’s packages for Wokha district following the counter-allegation by contending parties involved. It also suggested that, the scheme be recast if necessary.
“The District Congress Committee has been keeping silent over the issue regarding allotment of contract works to some individuals as sub-contractors un-officially, by a vested interest to party supporters as political gifts” a DCC central executives statement said adding that there have been allegations and counter-allegations that the contract works have not been allotted as per terms of tender notice as well that there are a lot of duplication of works over the recently constructed roads.
“What are the specific works to be done under the package and the guidelines for implementation for works; if it is PM’s package, the DCC Wokha would like to know if the scheme is for the entire Wokha district or for Wokha town alone and if tender notice was issued, how many tenderers were there and who was allotted the work; why the contractor is keeping silent all along. The DCC Wokha would like the contractor to come out with the truth of the issue” it asked.
“The thorough scrutiny of the controversy, it appears that the works allotted to subcontractors un-officially by a political leader is questionable and there are a lot of ample opportunities for corruption and misuse of fund” it stated.
