AGARTALA / KUMARGHAT, Feb 3 (TIWN): CM Maniks friend Ayyangar again fail to stop MGNREGA corruption: Fake work order Lakhs of Rupees looted in the name of MGNREGA work under Ratibari GP in ward No 2.

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 Rupees has been misappropriated.

The name of the work was excavation of Kaccha Channel from Kumarghat P/S to Railway Line under ward no-2 of Ratibari GP of Kumarghat RD Block under Unakoti District. Most of the REGA project works in Kumarghat RD Block which in reality have not been not executed, at all.

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. 

In spite 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.
