CBI probe sought

Dehra Dun: The Uttaranchal unit of the BJP has sought a CBI probe in a case of alleged misappropriation of the Chief Minister's Discretionary Fund.

State BJP general secretary Ramesh Pokhriyal, referring to the alleged embezzlement of the CMD Fund in Almora district in which 28 FIRs had been filed, told reporters on Monday that there was irregularity in the process of disbursement of the CMD Fund.

"Money from the CMD Fund has not only gone to the people of other States but it has even been disbursed in the name of dead persons," Mr Pokhriyal said.

He said that Chief Minister N.D. Tiwari was acting in an arbitrary manner. "The CM is least bothered about the authenticity of the list of beneficiaries," he said. -- UNI
