JAMMU, Oct 23: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Youth Congress (JKPYC) has demanded an enquiry into the alleged misappropriation of funds under MNERGA at Panchayat Aglidhar and BPL ration at Thanthu in Billawar Tehsil of Kathua District.
In a press release issued here today, Youth Congress Leader and former General Secretary of the party Pankaj Basotra who was on three days tour of the Tehsil met general public and heard their problems in which people of Aghlidhar Panchayat complained that under MNREGA scheme, rural development has drawn money on the name of the expired persons with the help of some local contractors.
He said that some people have withdrawn the amount. "A Cheque in the name of Late Gian Chand son of Late Ganga Ram has not been encashed by his survivor. Gian Chand expired in 2008 but the department has shown him working as labourer since January 2010. Others who have withdrawn money are namely Karnail Singh son of Mast Ram, Gian Chand son of Romela Ram, Des Raj son of Maloo Ram and Shankar son of Mandoo all resident of Aglidhar," claimed the Congress leader.

He said that the similar government funds meant for the poor and needy people have also been misappropriated at Thanthu, Lakhri, Uchapind, Amoala, Kah, Sialna and Barota Panchayats of Billawar Blocks.
Basotra further stated that in Thanthu Panchayat, BPL ration of 17 families has not been distributed among them since the last 8 months and the poor families are compelled to purchase ration from the open market. He said that in Thanthu, government has released an amount of Rs. 6, 50,000 for construction of school building which has been completed in documents and whole of the amount has been withdrawn by the School Committee after getting the completion certificate from the concerned authority but the plaster on the walls and roof, floor and windows has not been completed /fitted till date.
