Congress Calls for Probe Over Orphanage Turned Hotel in Assam
Imagine a building meant to help kids without parents.
The government built it, but then it was turned into a hotel!
The Congress party is upset and thinks the government misused money.
They want the police (CBI) to investigate.
The building was supposed to be for orphans, but the kids were moved somewhere else.
The government says it's actually a guest house for officials, not a hotel, and they are building a new orphanage.
The Congress thinks this is not right and wants someone to check if the money was spent correctly.
Congress demands a CBI probe into the conversion of a government-funded orphanage in Assam into a hotel.
The orphanage was inaugurated in July 2021 and re-inaugurated as Hotel Hading in July 2023.
Congress alleges misuse of central and state funds, citing a deviation from the original scheme.
The NCHAC chief stated the facility is a government guest house, not a hotel, meant for officials.
The orphans were moved to Choto Wapu in 2022 due to a lack of nearby amenities at the original site.
