SHILLONG: Seeking to end all controversies surrounding the mechanized abattoir project in Jowai, Minister for Animal Husbandry and Veterinary, Deborah Marak, along with officials of the department would conduct an inspection of the site on Jan 29 to take stock of the situation.
The decision was taken during a review meeting held here on Friday.
Reacting to a query, the minister said that non-supply of electricity and water at the site was the main reason behind the delay in implementing the project, even as she assured that the work for the abattoir would begin in full earnest and would be completed in eighteen months.
It may be noted that the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly has summoned officials of the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary department after being unsatisfied with replies submitted by the department on its failure to realize unspent money to the tune of Rs.1.81 crore which was released to a Chennai-based consortium and its local partner Rishan Rapsang as mobilization fund for construction of the Rs.7.65-crore mechanized abattoir in Jowai.
The committee on December 5 last, through Assembly Secretary H Mylliemngap, had directed the AH&V department to take immediate steps to realize the unspent money which was released to the firm for construction of the abattoir.
The PAC during the site inspection on November 11, had unearthed several anomalies as far as execution of the Rs 7.65-crore project was concerned.
