Probe PHE, RDD scams in Ramnagar constituency: Harsh 5/22/2018 9:40:19 PM Early Times Report Jammu, May 22: Expressing grave concern over the acute potable drinking water problem in Ramnagar constituency especially in the blocks of Kulwanta, Chanunta, Ghordi, Majalta and Parly dhar, Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and Former has sought a probe into the working of PHE schemes vis a vis funds received and output registered on the ground. He said that in the wake of several WSS schemes having gone defunct and acute problems faced by the people, several complaints of fake withdrawals of funds had been received from various villages without executing the work on the ground. He said that not only the panned funds were reportedly misappropriated and embezzled but huge additionalits released at the fag end of the financial year were swindled by vested interests in collusion. Making a particular mention of Rs. 60 Lakh released by DDC Udhampur on 30th March for PHE schemes of Ramnagar, Singh expressed his dismay over the utilization of the entire amount within one day before the closure of the financial year with none to take cognizance of the apparent fraud of huge magnitude. Calling upon the conscientious authorities, if any, in the govt, Singh called for a probe into the funds sanctioned in Ramnagar constituency for development schemes particularly in PHE and RDD and the corresponding delivery on the ground. He said that as in PHE, the funds in MGNREGA had also been abused and plundered with the concerned authorities shutting their eyes to the gross irregularities and large scale embezzlements. He said that the involvement of helmsmen in Rural Dev Deptt frauds could not be ruled out as the top officers of the Deptt booked by vigilance and FIRs having been registered against them were granted immunity by the govt. He said that rather than arresting the said officers, they were given prized postings which had encouraged the corrupt elements and given a boost to the all pervasive corruption in the Deptt.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
