Congress Demands Probe into Alleged Garukhuti Project Corruption
A political group is calling for an investigation into a government farming project due to claims of corruption.
They say money meant to help farmers was given to the families of government officials instead.
Protesters are upset because they believe the project is not being run fairly.
They are demanding an independent investigation to find out what happened and who is responsible.
They are particularly concerned about the distribution of resources and the death of cows.
Congress party members protested in Dispur, demanding a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into alleged corruption.
Protesters accused the government of non-transparent practices in the execution of the Garukhuti project.
Demonstrators alleged that funds were diverted to relatives and associates of ministers and bureaucrats.
The Guwahati City District President of the Farmers' Congress Committee claimed the Chief Minister's wife received a subsidy.
The protest followed reports of the deaths of 90 out of 300 Gir cows intended for the project.
