15 years rule of Congress in Assam is the epitome of corruption: Sonowal 

Guwahati, 5th October: Coming down heavily on 15 years of Congress misrule in the state, the Assam Chief Minister termed the predecessor government as the ‘merchants of corruption’ while quipping that Congress had opened shops of brazen corrupt practices by facilitating recruitment scams in every department.

Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Monday said that, in last four years, his government has given regular and contractual jobs to 80 thousand youths of the state on the basis of merit and in a very transparent manner. No one could cast any aspersion on the recruitment process.

“Of late, efforts were made to tarnish the image of the state government in the Assam Police Sub Inspector (SI) recruitment which was cancelled immediately when anomalies came to notice,” Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said.

“The present state government had to spend a lot of time in cleaning the filth left behind by the previous government and Congress had lost the moral rights to criticize others on corruption,” he said.

Adding that scams in APSC, disbursement of untied fund, land requisition, allotment of bonded warehouses under excise department, fertiliser and seeds of agriculture department etc were the shining examples of Congress’ 15 years misrule in the state, Sonowal remarked that the party did not even hesitate to snatch away the food meant for the poor children as the Congress regime saw scams in children’s food under social welfare department, ration cards in the name of fake beneficiaries, allotment of IAY houses among others.

Sonowal reiterated that the present state government has been following the policy of zero tolerance against corruption from the outset and even secretary-level officer of Indian Civil Service, chief engineer, DCS, DFOs, ADCs, directors, circle officers etc have all been put behind bars for involvement in corruption.

“Scores of meritorious youths have been able to secure government jobs in a transparent manner due to the stringent reforms undertaken in APSC while enabling them to become parts of state’s administrative system,” Sonowal said.

He also remarked that Congress has been trying to cover up its own misdeeds by criticising Assam government’s every action without any basis and said that state’s people would not be misled by such devious designs.

He also reiterated that the present state government remained accountable to only the people of Assam and it would leave no stone unturned to deliver on its promise of clean and honest governance.

The programme was held at the Rajiv Gandhi Bhawan in Itanagar and it started with a floral tribute to the eminent men.

The programme was attended by many, including former Chief Minister and APCC president Nabam Tuki, vice-president Bosiram Siram and general secretaries Mina Toko and Chera Taya. They commemorated the contributions of the two leaders towards nation-building.

Four-lane highway in Arunachal Pradesh

Arunachal, 3rd October: On 5th October 2016, the citizens of Arunachal witnessed the landmark development regarding the long-pending four-lane NH415 highway project connecting Itanagar to Banderdewa. This highway measured up to 31.5km as announced by the Union Minister, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, in presence of the Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh and the public of the state.

The state government and NHIDCL were directed to continuously do the repair and the maintenance whilst the construction of the highway is ongoing. It was also planned by the central government to make roads more durable by doing away with bitumen and replacing it with concrete systems using advanced technologies, said a minister. It was assumed that this would ease the daily challenges of the citizens of Arunachal Pradesh.

The project was started in September 2017 and was targeted to be completed by September 2020, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the long-drawn-out monsoon, the progress of work suffered. However, the physical achievement reported, as on 1 September 2020, is 72.46 per cent. Formation-cutting has been completed throughout the stretch of the road, except for a small patch near the Shiv Mandir, which has been kept for filling up the culvert bridge in between the Shiv Mandir and the Dree ground.

Other works, such as protection walls, drains and cover drains, culverts and carpeting of the road will be taken up in earnest and completed during the coming work season. With the relaxation of the SOPs, the concessionaire is bringing in more labourers from nearby states to speed up the pace of work.

The state government has sanctioned Rs 82.85 crore for improving the capital’s roads and for repair and maintenance of the roads and bridges in and around the Itanagar capital region. The tender process for the purpose has been completed and the work will commence soon. The department has been directed to take up the work on a mission mode and adhere to the timeline. It was further decided that the work progress would be reviewed every fortnight.
