Congress -LP claims scam in Manipur under 'Jal Jeevan Mission', demands investigation

New -delhi/Imhal, October 8 (IANS). The congress claimed on Wednesday that a scam worth a few hundred crore rupees in Manipur took place under the Central Sponsored Scheme Jal Jeevan Mission. The congress demanded an investigation monitored by the court. Angomcha Bimol Akoizam, the Lok Sabha parliamentary of the congress of the parliamentary constituency of the domestic manipur, claims that the figures of the Ministry of Jal Shakti claim that tap water was provided to nearly 80 percent of the rural households in Manipur, but that there is nothing on the ground level. Akoizam said he filed a public interest litigation (pill) in the Manipur High Court and sought an investigation into the implementation of the Jal Jeevan mission in the state. He said the pill was looking for an extensive audit of funds sanctioned and utilized under the Jal Jeevan mission, verification of household tap water connection claims made by the government and recognition of access to safe drinking water as a fundamental right of life under section 21 of the Constitution, with a guaranteed offer from tap water per day. The MP of Congress revealed with the media at the AICC headquarters in New -Delhi that he tried to personally verify and verify the demands made in the government’s records made and verify by visiting various towns. He expressed a surprise at the great gap between official demands and reality, claiming that the pipes were not even laid, adding that it was only after he raised the issue that the administration began to lay the pipes. Akoizam said it proves the government’s own claims false. On the one hand, the government claims that the work is completed and that tap water is provided to the people, while the government has begun to lay pipes. While the pipeline has just begun. The MP of Congress said it was a pity that the state was looted at a time when it went through a tragic phase, where violence occurred everywhere. –Is SCH/DKP Share This Story Tags
