The bigwigs of the statutory body providing light to the people are said to be making visits to the land of the Dragon purportedly for training stints on a regular basis and these so-called training programmes are a veritable windfall for them, they say.

These bigwigs are entitled to an allowance of US$450 a day during their stay in the foreign country. In addition, each of these ‘trainees’ receive gifts worth more than one million rupees at the conclusion of their visit/training programme from the generous hosts.
