NGCO, the Garo Community Organisation, has filed a formal complaint with the Meghalaya Public Works Department (PWD) over alleged misappropriation of funds in several construction projects in Garo Hills.
The organisation alleges that contractors—namely CCL Company, BSS Company, JC Company, and TOT Company—have taken money from the project budgets without completing the agreed work. NGCO says the companies have not delivered on their contractual obligations and that the projects remain incomplete.
According to NGCO, about fifty percent of the allocated funds have already been spent, yet there is little visible progress. The organisation also points out that the contractors have not obtained necessary extension orders and that the PWD has not taken action to enforce the terms of the contracts.
NGCO urges the PWD to investigate the claims and hold the contractors and companies accountable. The organisation stresses that the lack of progress and the alleged financial misconduct are unacceptable and calls for immediate intervention by the government to protect the interests of the community and ensure the projects are completed as planned.
