VO fails to grill accused ex-principal of GDC Udhampur Probe in renovation scam 'shelved' 11/30/2018 10:49:58 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Nov 30: More than one and half year has been passed after Vigilance Organization has registered case against Dr Nutan Kumar Resutra, the then Principal of Government Degree College Udhampur for renovation of government quarter scam but no progress has been made in this case. It appears that Vigilance Organization has succumbed before political or any other pressure to conduct further investigation. On Mar 30, 2017 State Vigilance organization had registered a case against Dr.Nutan Kumar Resutra on the basis of a verification conducted into the allegations that during his posting as Principal in the said college in the year 2010-12 he spent more than Rs.10 lacs on renovation of his quarter in Udhampur College Campus which otherwise falls under the purview of PWD (R&B) as PWD charges rent of all the quarters located inside the College campus on monthly basis. The said Principal floated quotation for different types of works which were purely technical in nature. Instead of executing the work through PWD (R&B). He by misusing his official position, charged higher rates for the different types of works and spent 23.13 lacs on 32 minor works which were executed departmentally on the basis of quotations. The comparative statements were certified by the committee members in a mechanical manner without any survey or application of mind. Neither the technical sanctions/estimates were obtained nor the bills/vouchers were technically verified. In addition to this, the mandatory service tax has not been deducted from the payments made to the contractors at different occasions. After the allotment of the works to the contractors, the CDRs were not obtained and PWD (R&B) was not consulted for the technical guidance. A loss to the tune of Rs.3.01,453/- on account of excess payment and non deduction of the tax has been caused to the state exchequer. The investigation of the case is going on.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
