Kohima, February 21 (MExN): The five Backward Regions Grant Fund (BRGF) benefitting districts, namely Mon, Wokha, Longleng, Tuensang and Kiphire held a joint meeting on February 20 regarding payment and utilization of the said fund at DUDA Guest House, Kohima.
A press release appended by general secretary, Kiphire VDB Association, and presidents of VDB Associations of the other four districts stated that the House after thorough deliberation on the present nature of implementation of BRGF Scheme, strongly resolved that, the BRGF fund should be released as per five years prospective plan submitted by village authorities concerned with effect from 2013-2014. The House also resolved not to accept any materials as the department has been issuing materials to the VDBs in the past years, it added. Further, it resolved not to entertain any VIP note for allotting of work under BRGF Scheme which is against the BRGF Guidelines.
In this connection, the House appealed to the department concerned to treat this matter as important, failing which the house resolved to restore to any form of agitation to fulfill this demand.
