| RDD has become a den of corruption: Harsh | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 14: Alleging large scale irregularities and corruption flourishing in Rural Development Department, scores of Panther activists led by Harsh Dev Singh, JKNPP Chairman and former Minister held a vociferous protest demonstration in Jammu today. While torching the effigy of the Rural Dev Deptt, the protestors raised slogans of “Rural Development Department Hai Hai”, “Rural development deptt mein brashtachar ki CBI jaanch karvao”, “Panchayaton ka paisa lootney wale bhrashtachari officers ke khilaf karwahi karo”, “MGNREGA ka bakaya paisa jari karo”, “Back to Village ka paisa jari karo”, etc.
Addressing the media, Harsh Dev Singh took a pot shot at much hyped Back to Village-3 programme organized by RDD and dubbed it as a flop show. He said that the third phase of the B2V has apparently evoked disappointment and dissatisfaction among the Sarpanches and Panches all across the UT of J&K and Jammu region in particular. “Almost everywhere, they have expressed indignation with several and boycotts of the said programmes in view of the officials not backing their promises made in the two prior editions.
He divulged that Back to village scheme was a total failure with hardly any delivery on the ground. There have been reports that every Panchayat was allocated the grant of Rs.14000/- for meeting expenses related to arrangements of the programme but in reality only few thousands ranging from Rs. 2000/- to Rs. 7000/- percolated down to several hundreds of Panchayats with hundreds of them having been altogether ignored and the said grants reportedly bungled by corrupt officials.
The B2V3 trumpeted with huge fan fare is nothing more than money minting exercise for govt officials as several crores of rupees have been conspicuously siphoned off under well bred institutionalized corruption, loot and plunder in the Rural Development department, rued Harsh. Harsh Dev Singh expressed grave concern over the non-payment of pending liabilities under MGNREGA for the last 2-3 years resulting in untold hardships for the affected people especially the poor labourers.
