Anantnag, Sept 3: The failure of the government to cater to the genuine needs of the elected panchayat members, has forced them to resort to corruption to make a living.
Logrigam Aishmuqam villagers in Anantnag told Early Times that panchs of sign their documents in lieu of consideration. For every single document, the villagers have top pay Rs 15 to the panch or the sarpanch.
Bilal Ahmad, a resident alleged that a Panch, Shakeela Akther baked by ruling National Conference along with Panch Afrooza and Gulam Mohmmad Chopan are openly demanding money besides compelling residentsto bribe officers to get their works done.
The above named panches have vouched for two opposite candidates who applied for the post of Aagan Wadi Centre. Being residents of the same ward, the Deputy commissioner Anantnag disposed off the case in his court. Signed on 02 December 2011 by the panchs , the document submitted to deputy commissioner Anantnag reads that the appointment made in the Aaganwadi center Peer Mohallah Lagripora is fair and the objections raised by one Shugufta w/o Bilal Ahmad is baseless.
The same panchs on 27 January 2012 after a month's gap signed again in favour of Shugufta requesting DC Anantnag via SSP Anantnag for cancellation of the earlier documents. Bilal said the corruption had assumed alarming proportions after panchayat elections.
A government official revealed that the Panchayat members mostly illiterate are being used as agents by the officers. |
