Northeast Desk, 25th May: Amidst recent allegations leveled against PHED Western Zone Chief Engineer Toko Jyoti by the Yachuli Mandal of the BJP, the Toko Welfare Association (TWA) has stepped forward to challenge the claims, demanding concrete evidence to substantiate the accusations.
Speaking at a press conference, TWA spokesperson Toko Nikam emphasized the necessity for proof regarding the alleged “financial concurrence for illegal appointment in the PHE&WS department in Miao circle of Changlang district.” Nikam stressed the importance of validity in accusations and urged for any signatory evidence from Jyoti’s side.
Referring to the allegations made by Yachuli BJP Mandal President Tania Tajing, Nikam dismissed them as unsubstantiated and labeled it as “a wrong appeal.” He reiterated the association’s support for Jyoti, highlighting his seniority within the TWA and asserting his blamelessness.
Addressing concerns about Jyoti’s absence from public discourse, Nikam clarified that the officer is currently indisposed and out of station, indicating that Jyoti may lodge a police complaint at a later stage.
Maintaining a non-political stance, the TWA demanded documentary evidence regarding the alleged 1,000 government job appointments facilitated by Jyoti, as claimed by Tajing. Additionally, the association filed an FIR against Tajing and the BJP for defamation.
Meanwhile, the Special Investigation Cell (SIC) has initiated an investigation into the matter following a complaint filed by the Yachuli BJP Mandal. SIC SP Anant Mittal confirmed that the case is under thorough examination from all possible angles.
