Early Times Report

RAJOURI, June 3: At a time when the Jammu & Kashmir administration is trying its best to cut down the wasteful expenditure the office of Child Development Project Officer (CDPO) Sunderbani in this district is going in the opposite direction.
Early Times has learnt from sources that lakhs of rupees have gone down the drain since the office of CDPO Sunderbani is paying a huge amount as monthly since it does not have its own building. The sources said that government could have constructed building of the office of CDPO Sunderbani from a portion of the amount paid as rent so far. “As on date the department is paying lakhs of rupees as annual rent for the building hired by it as office of CDPO Sunderbani. This amount has been paid for the past three years now and the department has been paying hefty sum when it comes to paying the rent on annual basis. The same has been done at the behest of concerned CDPO,” said sources. Sources said that the amount is ‘exorbitant’ since the office is located at Lohara-Kote, one and half kilometers away from the main Sunderbani market. They said the amount paid at present is four times more than the rent paid previously. The sources said that the department used to pay Rs. 7,000 per month as rent when the office was located at Phalwari Road in the main market of Sunderbani.
The locals of the area have urged Lieutenant Governor G C Murmu to order a probe in the matter so that the truth comes out and the picture becomes crystal clear before the people.
“It would not have cost the government much in constructing the building for office of CDPO Sunderbani. For the reasons best known to them the move has been scuttled and the department goes on to pay hefty amount as monthly rent. Just three rooms one each for CDPO, Office Assistant and Supervisor are needed for the office of CDPO at any place and same holds true with the office of CDPO Sunderbani,” said sources.
CDPO Sunderbani, Shalini Kumar Gupta could not be contacted since her mobile number was out of the coverage area. When this reporter tried to contact her on landline number he was told that the officer is not in the office.
