KAMALPUIR, June 27 (TIWN): The saga of IGDC project implementation in the three ADC villages under Salema Block came under huge allegation of embezzlement.

All the works according to the villagers although ended in documents most of them remained unusable. Rest of the works collapsed within a short period of time. And almost sixty percent of the allotted works were never implemented by the authority. Now, the saga of the project in case of other line departments also reported to be the same. Who would look into the matter in this so-called ‘golden regime’ remains the question of the hour.
