The Biplov led group Communist Party of Nepal Achham summoned Pushparaj Sharma, chairman of Turmakhad Rural Municipality, to the office of the so-called People's Court in Achham on October 23 for questioning on the issue of excessive expenditure incurred for the Corona pandemic.
The party's Achham office secretary Laxman told that he inquired about the expenditure incurred by the rural municipality in the name of the Corona pandemic and other developments and found that till last September, more than 11 crores 2 lakhs 7 hundred and 33 rupees was spent on prevention, control and management of corona in Achham alone.
Meanwhile, the Turmakhad alone made public the fact that Rs. 1,662,202 was spent on last September. According to the NCP, Sharma was summoned before the people's court at the Achham office after widespread complaints about the same. In the midst of the Corona pandemic, most of the local levels in Achham received complaints of widespread irregularities in the connivance of the people's representatives and employees.
"We are conducting studies and monitoring at all levels and if any irregularities are found, we will take action based on the directives of Jana Parishad Nepal," said Saugat, district Jana Parishad chief of Achham. Chairman Sharma was released after questioning in the people's court to bring the supporting evidence within seven days.
