Dimapur, March 29 (MExN): President of NPRAAF, Wedieu Kronu today leveled allegations against the School Education, Family Welfare, Land Resources, Power and RD departments as “some of the most corrupt departments” in Nagaland State arguing that they have been unable to furnish responses to the RTI sought even after three months.
Kronu was speaking at the first ‘Constitution Day’ of the Nagaland Public Rights Awareness and Action Forum (NPRAAF) observed at Science Centre, Dimapur.
Commenting on why Nagaland is progressing slowly economically, she alleged that “almost all the departments of Nagaland are being run by non-Naga businessmen and Nagas are in reality chained economically by the non-Nagas and the funds that come to Nagaland instead of circulating within the state goes out of the state,” according to a press release from the Forum.
She said some “non-locals are for wrong reasons marrying Nagas and NPRAAF is not going to remain a mute spectator of the phenomenon.”
Without naming, Kronu further claimed that there is one non-Naga who has been “controlling and monopolizing the RD department for over a decade now and stands as a link between the MORD and RD department and capture the entire department’s work including supply of CGI sheets which has become a huge scam.”
She also cautioned a retired Nagaland police officer from outside the State to “refrain from meddling in police affairs of the state as a middleman thereby taking away crores of state police development fund by deducting percentage.”
NPRAAF in the press release stated that the Forum was launched on February 27, 2016 by likeminded individuals to work towards delivery of justice for all strata of society. Its constitution was launched on March 28, 2016.
Started with just eight members, the forum, according to Kronu, has presently more than 10,000 active members.
