GUWAHATI, Dec 27: Assam Deori Shwayatta Shasita Gana Parishad (ADSSGP) has demanded that the State Government should hold election to the Deori Autonomous Council (DAC) and immediately conduct an investigation into the alleged misuse of Council funds.
ADSSGP secretary general Nitya Deori, through a statement issued here today, asked Tribal Development Minister Pramila Rani Brahma to order a probe into the misuse of funds sanctioned for the Council by the government since its formation on March 5 2005.
Deori alleged that the nine-member Executive Committee of the DAC was involved in misappropriation of funds meant for various development schemes for the Deori community.
He asked the State Government to make public how much money was sanctioned and utilized for development of the Deori people.
Deori accused DAC of distributing poor quality potato, tin (roofing) sheets, seedlings, etc in the Council areas. He also expressed surprise at the fact that only Rs 2 lakh had been spent on the 30-bed Rajiv Gandhi Memorial Hospital.
The ADSSGP leader said a 20-member full-fledged Executive Committee of the DAC should be formed through early election.
Deori demanded that elections to the Deori, Rabha, Mising and Tiwa autonomous councils be held in February next year. THE SENTINEL
