AGARTALA, September 5 (TIWN): Just after the Tripura High Court had directed the state government and its Rural Development Department to submit a fresh affidavit over the Bishalgarh multi-crore scam under the state RD department, the department was found under tight spot finding no alternative to get rid off from the scam unearthed during the year 2014 by the congress. The HC has found several loopholes in the earlier filed affidavit by the government.

According to the official source, the department is eyeing forward to sit for a jumbo meeting after getting suggestions from the ruling party lawyers. So far the government had curtained the entire scam getting the scamster Bimal Chakroborty the close aide of Chief Minister Manik Sarkar out from jail.

It has been learnt that despite the central government issued several letters to the state government seeking reply over the Bishalgarh multi-crore scam, the government has failed to act accordingly so far.

However, the HC is pegged to pronounce the final verdict on October 5 after getting the affidavit from state government. It is to be mentioned here that the government had taken several legal steps against the scam unearthed at Bishalgarh RD department but simply to eyewash the public.
