Port Blair, Jan 22: The Member of Parliament, Shri. Kuldeep Rai Sharma has requested the Hon'ble Lt. Governor of the A&N Islands to release the already allotted funds for the arrears payment of DRMs (1/30) working in various Panchayat Samitis.

The Member of Parliament acknowledged the positive step taken by the Administration in disbursing funds for the arrears payment of DRMs (1/30) in certain Panchayat Samitis. However, there is a concern as the allocated funds have been released for DRMs (1/30) in nearly three Panchayat Samitis, while those in other Panchayat Samitis are yet to receive the funds, and the reasons behind the delay remain unknown.

Expressing concern over this, Mr. Kuldeep Rai Sharma has submitted a formal request to the Hon'ble Lt. Governor, urging immediate attention to the matter and the swift release of the already allocated funds for the arrears payment of DRMs (1/30) working in various Panchayat Samitis.
