The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India has slammed the Mizoram Government for incurring an "avoidable" expenditure of ₹4.88 crore on formation cutting of Darlak-Sihthiang road in Mamit district due to "negligence".
The CAG report tabled in the assembly by Chief Minister Zoramthanga in the recently concluded session said that the construction of the Darlak-Sihthiang road was undertaken under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) despite the village being already connected.
It said that Sihthiang was connected by a 11-km long Chuhvel-Sihthiang paved road, which is an all-weather road since December 2020.
