Meghalaya: TUR quest for transparency, accountability during pandemic

Shillong, Oct 7 (UNI) The Thma U Rangli-Juki (TUR) - a civil society group in Meghalaya on Wednesday has asked the National People’s Party (NPP)-led government be “transparent and accountable” about the Rs. 399 crores “supposedly spent” on confronting the COVID-19 public health crisis in the State.
In a letter to Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma, Angela Rangad of the TUR, while highlighting the breakup of the expenditure as released by the government and reported in the media, said it “raises questions about the funds spent”.
“These numbers hide more than they reveal. For instance let us look at assistance to labourers, daily wage earners, BPL families to the tune of Rs. 51 crores. If we take government’s figure then approximately 2,42, 857 persons got a cash support of Rs. 2100 each in their bank account,” She said.
