Kadamtala/North Tripura, Dec 4 (TIWN):Truth speaks for itself! Notwithstanding, the CPI (M) led left government deserves accolade not for the all around scams and crimes against women but it should be praised for deriving innovative ways to loot public money. The flow of corruption cycle follows as Amount allotted for development works --> Amount credited in joint bank account --> Payment made to third party (Suppliers or workers) where the development works itself are reported not to start even. Thus an amount of nearly Rs.57850 has been misappropriated. The name of the work was reclamination of channel from water pump house to Bamonicherra under ward no-3 of Sarashpur GP of Kadamtala RD Block. All these aforesaid works are under different Panchayat and village of Kadamtala Rural Development (RD) block. Most of the REGA project works in Kadamtala RD Block which in reality have not been not executed, at all. The Implementing Officer (IO) Manik Halam(GRS) was behind the scam.

Police might have not traced these vague works against which money was shown incurred. BDO also might have got due share of scam money.

Though the said amount is nothing nut a drop of water in the ocean like amount looted of different roads, land development works and other grass root level infrastructural works were to be done against different work orders. 

Inspite of opposition’s one after another expose of MGNREGA scam, the government and concerned officials are in no mood to change its practice  regarding curbing corruption.  
Now, if the fund is shown spent and works not yet started, it depicts nothing but illegally pocketing the money by sections of people. 
The centre allots huge corpus for the development of the deprived people and development of the unattended areas of the state and the state government is doing every possible task to use the money for their own personal interest. And tragically, no regular and effective watchdog from the union government is there to look after the same.


BDO and RD offices for making false entries and undue adjustments to take away the fund, at the direction of Chief Minister himself. 
It is to be mentioned here that the Block Development Officers (BDOs), Sub divisional Magistrates (SDMs) and District Magistrates (DMs) always use the contractual staffs as puppets as very often they are threatened to be terminated from their jobs without any notice.
