TURA: The United Democratic Party (UDP) on Monday filed an RTI with the GHADC seeking details of utilisation of central funds amounting to Rs 100.71 crore that was released to the council last year.
The party in Garo Hills said they decided to file the RTI after getting reports about non-completion of many projects under the Special Plan Assistance.
NPP was in power when the Centre released the funds though a section of the members of the previous body are also in the current Congress-led Executive Committee.
“We have sought various details, including advertisements floated, sanctioning authorities, completion reports and running bills, among others, and hopefully will get to the bottom of the corruption if there is any,” said the UDP’s youth wing president.
There have been widespread allegations of fund misappropriation with the current Congress EC even filing FIRs against some contractors for withdrawing the money without executing the work order. A few council officials are also under scanner for the misappropriation.
