Arunachal Pradesh government has ordered a multi-level investigation into the issues related to the Frontier Highway project in East Kameng district.Interacting with mediapersons on Tuesday, Chief Minister Pema Khandu said a one-man committee, constituted to assess the situation concerning the Frontier Highway, has submitted its report to the state government, which is currently under examination.
Khandu further said the matter has also been referred to the Anti-Corruption Department, which is conducting a separate investigation into the alleged irregularities linked to the project.“The state government is taking the issue very seriously and has therefore adopted a multi-pronged approach to ensure accountability. From the state government’s side, four additional committees have been constituted to re-assess various aspects of the project, including implementation and oversight mechanisms,” he informed.The Chief Minister said these committees would independently review the findings and submit their recommendations.“If anyone is found guilty during the investigations, he/she would be held accountable as per law,” the Chief Minister said while pledging transparency and proper execution of key infrastructure projects in the state.
