AGARTALA, November 15 (TIWN): The uninterrupted 21-year stint in power seems to have taken a toll on the financial transparency of the Left Front administration in Tripura. With another chapter in corruption episode of Tripura this time the Tripura Road Transport Corporation (TRTC) is now under the scanner of Rs. 2 crore scam.At least 1200 pensioners of TRTC are deprived from their gratuity money that rests at Rs 2 crore now. It was during the year 2010, when a meeting at the secretariat decided to pay gratuity money to the 1200 pensioners. But now it has been since 4 years that the 1200 pensioners are suffering, whereas according to the sources among those 1200 deprived pensioners some of them had already expired, and on the other the TRTC authority is still playing a role of a mute spectator in regard of paying the pensioners, their gratuity money. Since the year 2010 the 1200 pensioners had been knocking doors for several movements in demand of their deserved gratuity money, when A.B. Reang was the Managing Director (MD) of TRTC. At present the MD of TRTC is R.M. Malakar. According to the report the gratuity money rests at Rs. 2 crore that a total of 1200 pensioners are yet to receive gratuity.

However, but this must be another multi crore scam that added feather to Tripura Corruption with which the Tripura Govt. to come under the limelight of serious scam once again. But what more left with Tripura now to bring the corruptions under control?
