DoNER Minister Jitendra Singh on Monday ordered a probe into the alleged misappropriation of government funds to the tune of Rs.900 crore in Arunachal Pradesh through various centrally-sponsored schemes.
The schemes were related to the non-lapsable central pool of resources (NLCPR) and the North Eastern Council (NEC).
