AGARTALA / KAILASHAHAR, March 3 (TIWN): After continuous reports based on authentic information published in the TIWN regarding failure of Unakoti Dugdha Unnayan Prakalpa (UDUP) in Kaliashahar and Kumarghat, Principal Secretary of Animal Resource Development Department(ARDD) Dr V K Bahuguna seemed to have started to take strict measures after he found massive misappropriation of funds in the UDUP . During his three day long visit to Unakoti District, Dr V K Bahuguna took stock of the actual UDUP situation especially the condition of the Holstein Friesian cows that are supposed to give around 25/30 litres of milk every day as reported by the Director of ARDD Dr Dharmeswar Das before CM Manik Sarkar promising to make Tripura self sufficient in milk, said a top level ARDD official. But from the very beginning Dharmeswar Das was misleading the state govt and CM with the promise that state will get the rank No 1 in country in the sphere of milk production. But after getting the details from TIWN and being encouraged by the honest officials in ARDD , Principal Secretary V K Bahuguna went to Kailashahar and Kumarghat and made a food to door survey in areas like Goldharpur, Kwalikura, Joloi, Chantoil.

It is learnt that during this visit Dr V K Bahuguna was also accompanied by Sabhadhipati of Unakoti Zila Parishad, Chairpersons of respective Panchayat Samitis. And in front of all Principal Secretary came to know that there was indeed massive corruption involved in the UDUP.

       Being furious at this massive corruption and subsequently pressurized by the elected representatives like Sabhadhipati and Panchayat Samiti Chairpersons, Principal Secretary Dr V K Bahuguna transferred Asst Director of Kumarghat Block, ARDD Dr. Sanjib Sinha for misleading the state govt as well as ARDD due to his ill-conceived and false role towards implementation of the U.D.D.P Project and immediately  removed him from the post Vide no- F.2(235) AHD/2005/19,687- 703), Dt- 21st Feb 215. A highly placed source in the ARDD, Agartala td this correspondent over phone on Monday night ," Ealier the transfer issue of Dr Sanjib Sinha was approved by state Govt . Vide U.D NO.-1166/Prin. Secretary/ARDD dated  11/2/15.

       During the last few two years Dr Sanjib Sinha was paving the way for massive corruption under the instruction of Director ARDD Dr Dharmeswar Das, the producer & director of this massive scam. And in this case Dr Sanjib Sinha initially got the then DM Unakoti Abhishek Chandra. Dr Sanjib Sinha(Sole Authority & Nodal Officer of UDUP)  submitted all the basic reports on U.D.D.P from September 2014 to January 2015 to the  Govt. Vide Ref. No.- F.G 94;AD/ARDD/KGT/2012-13 , Dt- 17/10/14. In these report he included the following facts which are mostly false :-

1. No of cows -51,but physically present 46 as on Jan 31.

2. High Report of Milk - 21 ltrs, bt physically its 15 ltrs.

3. Low repprt of Milk -8 ltrs, bt its physically- 500ml.

4. She(Female) cow in good health-27

4. Male cow in good health - 21

6. No of dairy farmers in good condition with fodder cutting for cultivation- 42

10.  funds received from the district administration though the Director(Unokoti)  Rs.- 70 lakhs..

Entire role behind the U.D.D.P led by Director of Dr. Dharmeswar Das was just to show some achievements towards production of milk per capita to the people of the state to the Chief Minister Manik Sarkar . through all aforesaid fake reports submitted  by Dr. Sanjib Sinha, the blessed partner of Mr. Dharmeswar Das.
