Social activist Payi Gyadi has registered an FIR against the executive engineers of the Chayang Tajo PWD division and executing agencies Gammon India Ltd, Gammon Engineers Contractors Pvt Ltd and DRB Infrastructure Pvt Ltd over the 81-km Seppa-Chayang Tajo road project.

The names of all the current and former PWD engineers who oversaw the debacle of a project were registered by Gyadi in the FIR.

Gyadi had earlier lodged a complaint against Gammon India Pvt Ltd on 7 August, 2019, accusing that “more than one billion bill amounts” had been paid to the company but not a single kilometre of the road was properly built.

The road project is harmed by allegations of misappropriating funds and corruption involving Rs 172 crore. However, only 30 percent of the road project has been completed till now.

The East Kameng Social Welfare & Culture Organization (EKSWCO) had convened a meeting to discuss the road project on 7 February.

On 11 February, the EKSWCO team urged Chief Minister Pema Khandu to intervene in the Seppa-Chayang Tajo NEC road issue. The EKSWCO informed Khandu about the incompleteness of the road project from Seppa to Chayang Tajo, whose construction began in 2008 with NEC fund (implemented by the PWD and executed by Gammon India Ltd).
