ITANAGAR : The All Nyishi Youth Association (ANYA), Kra Daadi Unit, has served a two-week ultimatum to the state government, demanding the immediate filing of a chargesheet in the alleged ₹183.13-crore Fisheries Department corruption case linked to Kra Daadi district.

The organisation also expressed concern over what it described as an inordinate delay in the investigation and prosecution of the case.

Addressing a press conference at the Arunachal Press Club here on Friday, the unit stated that the alleged corruption case pertains to FIR No. 18/2024, which was registered following observations made by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG).

According to the CAG report, an alleged illegal withdrawal of ₹183.13 crore was made from the Palin Treasury during the 2023-24 financial year without budgetary provision, administrative approval or expenditure authorisation.

The association informed that it had submitted several representations to the state government and other concerned authorities, urging immediate action in the matter and providing sufficient time for the investigation to progress. However, it alleged that no concrete action has been initiated so far.

Expressing dissatisfaction over the government’s silence, the unit said the continued delay in investigation and prosecution has raised serious concerns regarding accountability and transparency.

The association has now extended a final two-week deadline to the state government to initiate action in the case, including the filing of the chargesheet. It warned that failure to act within the stipulated period would compel the organisation to launch democratic agitations across the state.

The unit further informed that it had earlier submitted a representation to the concerned authorities on June 11, setting June 24 as the deadline for action. However, it alleged that neither the state government nor the concerned authorities responded to its demands, prompting the issuance of the fresh ultimatum.
