AAP Seeks Probe into Rs 200 Crore Spent on Clearing Legacy Waste
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has demanded a thorough investigation into the expenditure of Rs 200 crore allocated for clearing legacy waste in Chandigarh. The party alleges that the funds were mismanaged and calls for accountability.
Allegations of Irregularities
According to AAP leaders, the spending on legacy waste clearance lacks transparency. They claim that the actual work done does not justify the huge amount spent. The party has urged the authorities to probe the matter and take necessary action.
Background of the Issue
Legacy waste refers to the accumulated garbage over the years at dumping sites. The Chandigarh administration had earmarked Rs 200 crore for its scientific disposal. However, AAP argues that the process has been slow and the funds have been misused.
Demand for Accountability
The party has submitted a memorandum to the concerned officials, seeking a detailed inquiry. They have also raised the issue in public forums to ensure that the matter is not swept under the carpet. AAP has vowed to continue its fight against corruption.
