IMPHAL, April 26: BJP Manipur Pradesh secretary L Sushindro Singh today launched an offensive against Congress MLA Dr Ng Bijoy Singh claiming that works carried out in the MLA`\u2122s constituency under PMGSY are sub-standard and that fund allocated under the scheme has been badly utilised in the constituency.<\/p>\n
He said the road construction especially along the road adjacent to the Kongba River is pathetic.<\/p>\n
Sushindro called a press conference in this regard today at his Khurai Tinsid Road residence.<\/p>\n
He said the Khurai Block Congress Committee general secretary making comments on the developmental works in the constituency while there is still a Congress MLA is unethical and regrettable.<\/p>\n
The general secretary speaking with authority above the local MLA, while the later continues to remain mute is unfortunate, he added.<\/p>\n
The Congress party should be held accountable if any untoward incident happens due to the unethical comments of the so-called Khurai Block Congress Committee general secretary.<\/p>\n
The construction site for the Kasturba Gandhi Ballika VIdhyalaya under the KGBV Scheme exclusively meant for girl students of Class VI to VIII and Class IX residential co-ed school falls under the reserved forest area, he continued.<\/p>\n
Any construction in such area would be of no-use unless the concern authority which is the Congress MLA in this case to take prior clearance certificate from the Forest department.<\/p>\n
The BJP Manipur Pradesh leader also took a media team to a tour of Kongpal Khaidem Leikai and Kongpal Kongkham Leikai inspecting the deteriorating condition of the roads.<\/p>\n
Locals told media persons that the roads have been in this condition since some three months back and the retaining walls along the river bank have not also sunk 4 feet but cracks have also started to appear already.<\/p>\n
The retaining walls were completed some nine months ago and this is a clear case of contractors doing sub-standard work, they said.<\/p>\n
The roads were found with deep cracks making driving along the road all the more difficult.<\/p>\n
A local who identified himself as Laishram Loken Singh said on top of the bad roads and sinking retaining walls the locals are also facing drinking water scarcity.<\/p>\n
He further expressed the need for the authorities to monitor the developmental works undertaken properly.<\/p>\n\n
