Unspent funds spark questions on Tripura Govt.’s intent for rural development
TIWN June 7, 2016

AGARTALA, June 7 (TIWN): Once again controversy has been erupted against Bishalgarh RD Block as atleast Rs. 20 lakhs in average remained unspent per every Panchayats.

The total number of Panchayat is 33 there. These unspent funds reflect the failure of the government to achieve the set targets as atleast Rs. 20 lakhs have remained unspent in under every Panchayats.

Whereas state is continuously imposing pressure upon the central Govt. for fund allocation under MGNREGA, the unspent money in Bishalgarh RD Block has hit the Rural Development.

It’s to be mentioned here that the central govt. has red marked REGA works lapses (FY 2015-16) and this Bishalgarh RD Block has remained under controversy consistently.

As per the revised estimate, the government failed to spend money on almost every sector of urban and development to social welfare.

Earlier also the same block came under many allegations as officials including a BDO Bimal Chakraborty were suspended for  involvement and indulgence in corruption at block level in implementation of Central schemes, Rural Development.

In total Rs. 17 crore’s embezzlement was reported on that time.

So far no action was taken after that and Tripura Govt.’s continuous negligence and the softness towards scamsters as Bimal Chakraborty, Principal Secretary GSG Ayyanagr has left state’s development covered with corruption.
