NONGSTOIN: A youth organisation in West Khasi Hills has accused Nongstoin MLA Diosstarness Jyndiang of neglecting beneficiaries while distributing corrugated galvanised iron sheets.
The Western Youth Federation, which had filed an RTI, said the MLA engaged Mawthungkper Social Welfare Organisation for distribution of CGI sheets under the Social Rural Welfare Programme 2015-16 and 2016-17.
Also, each beneficiary was supposed to get three bundles of 0.40mm of CGI sheets but the Mawthungkper Social Welfare Organisation gave only one or two bundles of 0.35mm sheets.
“We have no clue as to where the remaining sheets are and we have learned that this organisation even charged money for transporting these sheets to people’s houses. According to the RTI, we have found that transportation is free no matter where the place is. The MLA and the organisation have lied and tricked the people. During the time of Ma Hoping (Late Hopingstone Lyngdoh) truth prevailed but now treachery prevails”, said SK Syiemsad, public secretary of the federation.
