Speaking to ET, people informed that they were shocked to see the withdrawal of huge amount of material cost on the name of few influential persons who are political activist associated with the ruling parties or the relatives and wivesof the employees posted in the area.
They said that as per the principle, the MGNREGA job card holders should be the prime beneficiaries of the material cost payments, but the big fishes in the RDD department swindle this money to fill their coffers instead of distributing the same among poor job card holders.
Political and Social Activist Abdul Wahid Malik who had launched crusade against the deep rooted corruption in the RDD blocks of Marwah, Warwan and Dachhan called for setting of high level committee to look into the huge embezzlements in RDD Warwan. |
