MLA sends New Year wishes and appeals

IMPHAL | Dec 27

MLA,  Tamenglong assembly constituency, Samuel Jendai has extended good wishes for a prosperous coming new year 2018 to all.

 He has invited all Zelianrong frontal organisations, national workers, NGOs, development and implementing agencies and the general public etc. to discuss, reason together, to co-operate in order to bring about visible development to the district and to join hands in the new year 2018 resolutions to build a new and a developed Tamenglong, said a release.

Lauding the quality monitoring exercise undertaken by Zelianrong frontal organisations along the Tamenglong- Khongsang road, he expressed the quality of work at the desired level could not be maintained due to the alleged percentage cut system practiced by many organisations, groups and national workers, it said. Taking undue advantages of the poor road conditions, shop owners, business houses, vested individuals and groups etc., have been playing the extortion game by charging exorbitant price and causing a lot of suffering to the people, the release alleged.

The deputy commissioner, Tamenglong district on priority should have been overseeing and checking such economically unhealthy activates in the district in the interest of the socio –economic uplift met of backward hill areas, it said.  

Further, it is appealed to such vigilant organisations particularly Zelianrong Union Tamenglong Zone led by SP AThui and the District Concerned Development Association to prevail upon the “percentage cut (PC cut)” groups to refrain and sacrifice from such work quality reducing activates or at least to control excessive draining away of development fund by calculating PC cut from the contractor, sub-contractor or implementing agencies’ profit and “not from the total project cost reflected in the work order, the release continued.  This would be a very effective measure to properly utilise public money for the purpose for which it was sanctioned and to maintain good quality road and works in the most backward district of Manipur, it added.
