The money had been released in April last year, and more than one year has lapsed, due to which the VECs decided to lodge a complaint with the Peren Deputy Commissioner and the Education department. Though some said that the amount might have disappeared in the cross cheques, blame is being passed over to the concern Project Assistant.
DEO Photuli Jamir said that the Education Department would be sending an investigation team to the district to dig out the truth. Meanwhile, it is learnt that two schools, Jalukie Zangdi and Mhainamtsi village, have received the amount meant for them under the same scheme.
