ITANAGAR, Sep 3:<\/strong> Former Sagalee ADC Jalash Pertin has termed the allegation of fund misappropriation levelled against him by the Papum Pare District Law Students’ Union (PPDLSU) “baseless and misleading.”<\/p>\n

In a press release, ADC on Thursday said, “An amount of Rs 1.5 crore only was sanctioned by the government of Arunachal Pradesh during 2017-18 as per request made by the ADC Sagalee to place the amount under him for purchasing of furniture, fixture, equipment and stationary.<\/p>\n

“The BDO Sagalee was made executing agency, which was an error in the sanctioned order of the government as the ADC Sagalee is independent and the DDO too.”<\/p>\n

He went on to inform that “the NIT was floated as per section 166 of GFR 2017 and a copy was hung in the notice board for wide publicity. A copy was dispatched to DIPRO (as per register) for publication in local dailies. However, the DIPRO Papum Pare denied receipt of any copy which might have been misplaced.<\/p>\n

“Process of opening tender papers was conducted strictly as per GFR and video recording made. Accordingly, M\/s Home Decora, Itanagar, was awarded the supply work with a direction to maintain standard quality and quantity.<\/p>\n

“The firm has supplied the items furnishing the mini-secretariat, ADC bungalow, EAC quarters and six circle HQs.”<\/p>\n

“Due to oversight, the entire amount of rupees 1 crore 50 lakhs was issued to the firm but later on directed to recoup the government revenue within March 2019, but the firm has informed that a bill of the like amount is pending at the ADC Sagalee which may be adjusted,” Pertin said.<\/p>\n

He also informed that initially one Teli Naga had submitted a petition under the RTI Act and all documents were supplied to him, and that in this connection the present Sagalee ADC attended the RTI office to issue a clarification.<\/p>\n

“Naga has filed a PIL in the Gauhati High Court and the undersigned has also filed an affidavit in opposition which is pending due to pandemic of Covid-19. The case is now subjudice,” the former Sagalee ADC informed.<\/p>\n

Saying that he is “hurt by the wild allegations as a law-abiding senior officer of the state,” Pertin added that “tourists and other officers who have visited the mini-secretariat can give the testimony of its status.”<\/p>\n

The former Sagalee ADC also appealed to the high court to depute an officer to inspect the mini-secretariat and other establishments to ascertain the truth.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the PPDLSU in a press conference alleged that Pertin had misappropriated public fund amounting to 1 crore 50 lakh rupees.<\/p>\n

The PPDLSU also claimed that the whole process of tendering and execution of work was “fake and involved corruption.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
