ITANAGAR, Feb 8: To take stock of  the under construction office building of the   Itanagar Municipal Corporation (IMC), Mayor Tamme Phassang  along with Commissioner IMC  Likha Tejji, corporators and engineers today inspected the work  site at Chimpu.
While interacting with the engineers, the Mayor advised the official not to compromise with the quality of work.
"As of now there is no permanent office building for IMC, and as it is running in a rental building at Niti Vihar, the public even IMC staff have to face various problems. So we are trying our best to complete the offices soon as possible for the convenience of the public," he added while speaking to the media. He also informed that by the next 15-20 days remaining work of the building will be completed.
 Earlier, responding to the allegation leveled by Arunachal Jankalyan Sanghathan (AJS) claiming corruption in the IMC, Mayor categorically stated that the ‘allegation is baseless' and he welcomes an investigation, provided there should be proper substantial documents about the allegation and the person should be apolitical. One should not malign the hard-earned image of others for the sake to gaining publicity or for personal benefits, added the Mayor.
Phassang also asserted that not a single penny of the 15th  or 14th  Finance Commission was misused by the IMC, and the funds of the 14th Finance Commission are still with the authority. 
Some Funds under the 14th FFC were used by the authority for a different project in the capital region only, that too when IMC was non-functional due to the election process, and the new IMC team hasn’t used any new funds as of now, informed Mayor.
