The Jordhunga United Development Committe has accused Gorubathan BDO office of misusing the funds allocated for Border areas development programmes.
Labelling the charge, Mr. Sanjay Gurung of JUDC has said, "the BADP funds are meant for developing infrastructure in villages that are within 10kms of the international border, yet out of he 14 projects initiated under the funds, 6 have been undertaken in places that are 40 to 50kms away from the border, because of this misuse of funds, border villages are suffering."
It might be recalled that the only access road connecting Jordhunga to Bindu had been washed away two weeks ago and the district administration is yet to take any steps to restore connectivity.
Mr. Sanjay Gurung further added, "we will soon file and RTI and report to the Home Ministry on how the funds allocated for border village development have been routed to fund projects that are not near the border."
The BADP funds are monitored and utilized by District Magistrate and BDO offices.
