SKM accuses State Govt of misappropriation of earthquake relief fund

GANGTOK, 31 Oct: A Sikkim Krantikari Morcha team led by party vice president, TN Dhakal, today submitted a memorandum to the Prime Minister’s Office accusing the state government of misappropriation of Prime Minister’s Earthquake Relief Fund.
In a press release, MN Dahal, the SKM spokesperson, informs that Mr. Dhakal submitted the memorandum to the PMO on 28 October alleging “gross misappropriation of earthquake relief funds” and that only 5 percent of 8000 damaged houses have been reconstructed.
Interestingly, the party contention builds from a report published in Outlook magazine on 30 September carrying similar allegations.
The memorandum also alleges that a senior MLA of SDF has threatened people of denying them earthquake relief if they support opposition parties.
