| Loot of MG-NREGA funds goes unabated in the state: Harsh | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 3: Alleging large scale irregularities, massive bungling and misappropriation of funds in the implementation of MG-NREGA scheme in the state, Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and Former Minister today petitioned the Union Rural Development Minister seeking a high level probe into all expenditures under the scheme by the J&K RDD during the last 3 years. He regretted that in the absence of ombudsman or any other monitoring authority, the huge funding under MG-NREGA scheme has been looted and plundered with none to take cognizance of the frauds in RDD making headlines in the media every other day. He said that not only the plunder of funds but the RDD officers often declined to provide replies under RTI which had invited the wrath of SIC as well with the latter admonishing the Deptt for circumventing the transparency law. Having clandestinely floundered the principles of Accountability and Transparency, Singh called for a high level probe into the functioning of the RDD Deptt under the supervision of GOI. Pointing towards the vigilance raids in the houses and office premises of Director Rural Development besides four other officers of the deptt including ACDs, DPOs and GM of NCCFI exposing the massive scam in the tune of crores in the RDD under MG-NREGA scheme, Harsh Dev Singh said that it was only a tip of the ice berg and said that identical exercise needs to be conducted in all other districts of the state in view of hundreds of crores being bungled by unscrupulous elements in collusion with officers and politicians. |
