FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT

Itagar, April 16: Alleging that the construction work of a girls’ hostel building in Kra Daadi district currently taken up under MSDP and RMSA schemes, is not carried out as per the Detailed Project Report (DPR), the All Kra Daadi Students Union (AKDDSU) has appealed to the DC and all concern officers for regular inspection of the project to ensure that a proper establishment materializes.

While urging the authorities not to repeat the fiasco that happened last year wherein funds for constructing a girls’ hostel under the scheme of Ministry of Tribal Affairs were allegedly mismaged and the DPR guidelines for a 2 storied hostel were flouted, the AKDSSU appealed to the local contractors working under the schemes to adhere to the guidelines and work for the betterment of their own area.

Claiming that the students are facing much hardship due to absence of proper hostel facilities, the Union appealed to the concern authorities to initiate early steps to expedite the project and take strict action against erring officials and contractors. Members of the Union led by its president Gora Rikam had earlier visited Yangte, Chambang and Palin circles on Apr10 last to assess the progress of the said project under the aforementioned schemes.
