From our Correspondent
JORHAT, July 1: Members of the Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chatra Parishad (AJYCP), Titabor subdivision unit, took out a protest rally and staged a dharna in front of Titabor SDO office today. The parishad is demanding immediate probe on the alleged misuse of government funds worth Rs 3.5 crore released for the embankment strengthening works of Saraipani river in the Chief Minister’s home constituency, Titabor.
The organization has also submitted a memorandum addressed to the Jorhat Deputy Commissioner to take immediate steps in this regard. Titabor subdivision unit AJYCP president Debojit Hazarika and secretary Ashim Saikia said due to poor quality of construction works by the department concerned, water of Saraipani river has breached the embankment in three parts posing serious threat to hundreds of people of villages like Birinasayak, Mandalgaon, Sekuria and Madhabpur under Titabor subdivision.
Pointing at the shortsightedness and negligence on part of the officials concerned, the organization also alleged that due to inferior quality of construction work, the complete embankment strengthening fund has gone down the drains. They further alleged that the government officials have misused crores of government funds with tawdry construction work of the Saraipani bridge and reportedly siphoned off lakhs of fund money meant for the work.
They also warned the authorities concerned as well as local MLA and Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi of rigorous agitation if their demands are not met immediately.
