GEYZING, : Chief Minister P.S. Golay on Monday issued a stern warning against individuals who have allegedly purchased inverters from economically disadvantaged beneficiaries. These inverters were distributed under a government welfare initiative aimed at supporting the underprivileged.
Addressing a public function at Mangalbaria, the Chief Minister stated that strict legal action would be taken against those who exploit the financial hardships of poor beneficiaries by purchasing government-provided inverters at reduced prices. While acknowledging that some recipients may have sold the inverters due to financial compulsion, Golay made it clear that the buyers, who took advantage of the situation, will be held legally accountable.
“The government will initiate an investigation through a legal authority into the sale and purchase of inverters distributed to needy individuals. The buyers will face legal consequences following a thorough inquiry,” Golay stated.
He further urged those who have bought the inverters to return them to the original beneficiaries in order to avoid legal repercussions.
The Chief Minister also appealed to the public not to sell items such as inverters and GCI sheets provided by the government, as these are intended to uplift their economic condition.
