Itanagar, Sep 22 (UNI) The Arunachal Pradesh Panchayati Raj Co-ordination Committee (APPRCC) today urged the state government for immediate release of funds granted by the 11th Finance Commission during 2005-06.

The APPRCC said Rs 2430.21 crore had been granted to Panchayati Raj Institutions(PRIs) for creation of database, maintenance of accounts and creation of civic amenities in the state.

Criticising the 'dilly-dallying' attitude of the state government, APPRCC chairman Nabam Rana said the Committee would file a PIL against the state government if the money was not released within next week and the matter would be intimated to the Finance Commission.
