As per information received, around one crore and thirty eight lakhs were released under BADP in 2017-18 for various development works on Akhnoor border villages, but for a mafia from different departments , the money was released on different pretexts and misused to benefit some people.
Block Development Office Akhnoor has been found to be the focal department which ran the illegal transactions where in Rural Development Department also became the party.
It is being alleged that instead of taking up any development works in border areas, the culprits involved in the misuse of funds diverted whole money to Hari Singh village in Akhnoor which is quite far away from the border and have no lineage of the border perceptions.

The BDO Akhnoor kept on dilly-dallying and assured to give the backdrop of the money used in different works, but did not respond to various calls.
However on the ground, the facts have an astonishing revealing about the works conducted in making of roads, link roads and other development works for which the money was released and siphoned off.
People of the area allege that officials of BDO office and RDD are quite often seen in connivance in misusing the funds as all officials of both departments are in hand in glove in corrupt practices .
The sources further inform that after siphoning of Rs 1.38 crore, the officials of both the departments have recently made up a fradul3ent proposal of Rs 23 lakhs and have released the money.
"This money has been distributed among the officials as there is no documentary evidence of the works to be executed under any scheme. The earlier funds of Rs 1.38 crore were manipulated in the documents and were released under superfluous heads to benefit the blue eyed," said one of the employee in the department wishing anonymity.
The people of the tehsil have appealed to the vigilance department to take the review of the funds released under BADP and also verify the fraudulent documents made by the cunning officials in BDO and RDD to benefit them.
"We demand that a vigilance inquiry be done and all culprits be brought to the books," said one of the residents of the tehsil. |
