AGARTALA, November 11 (TIWN): After the scam of Rupaichari R.D.Block came under limelight, the higher officials of the department said that as per official records it is observed that a huge amount of adjustments of MGNREGAs works in different financial years undertaken in Rupaichari R.D.Block is still now being submitted (copy of works is enclosed).The South Tripura District has taken a very serious note on this issue and pressing hard for immediate submission of all pending adjustments, the source added.The official instructed to submit complete adjustment along with photographs of all the pending works undertaken in MGNREGAs under Rupaichari R.D.Block within 24/11/2014.

It is to be mentioned here that, in the ongoing 'Statewide Scam Festival of Manik's Tripura', Rupaichari R.D.Block made its entry with Muticrore irregularities which may even cross Rs.50 crore MGNREGA Bisalgarh scam.

New scam of Rupaichari R.D.Block's  actual amount which had been looted is yet to be discovered. But it is assumed that the amount should be similar or more than the 50 crore scam like Bishalgarh R.D. Block.According to sources, a special audit was done of the Rupaichari R.D. Block and its eighteen village committees in the year 2012-13 and 2013-14. From the audit report, it was found that a big amount of money was embezzled.

The then Director of Audit Lalmuna Rokhum sent a letter to the Principal Secretary of Rural Development on 14th October mentioning that something had gone wrong on the Rupaichari R.D. Block and it’s village committees under Rupaichari R.D. Block . That’s why all the accused connected with the scam should be put on trial within 3 weeks. But it had been seen that, after passing of 3 weeks, no action being taken by the department. Instead of that The Director of Audit, Lalmuna Rokhum was transferred from his post, demoted and was appointed as OSD of SIPARD Department. On Lalmuna Rokum's place, Chief Minister’s close aide Sahadeb Das was posted to take over the Charge so that no other scam will see broad daylight. Now, the real intention of ruling party had been exposed front of people.

But during the last few months scams after scams are being published in local and national media. And the image of the party and especially Chief Minister Manik Sarkar's so called ' White and Clean' image too are under question mark. Many have started to believe that in 2018 CPI (M) will face a tough challenge to retain its power in Tripura. Interestingly in most of the cases the corrupt officials and leaders who are involved are known to be 'close to Chief Minister'. Recently scams like Rs 24 crore NRHM in Kailashahar, Rs 5 crore RMSA and Rs 50 crore MGNREGA are on top list.
