An amount of Rs. 44 lakhs spent for Renovation of Residence office
of Collector, Kalahandi, Odisha
Dear friends
Misuse of public money by Odisha bureaucracy is very common
under Nabin Patnaik Govt. in Odisha.
They spend public money on their own wish and fancies for their luxury
and comfort. Few years back, Mrunalini
Darswal, the then collector of Nuapara district had misused NREGA fund for
construction of swimming pool in the Collector’s residence violating all Rules
and regulations. There was high-level enquiry into it after complaint was
filed. However, the enquiry was suppressed by the State Govt.
Since last few years, RTI has been used by RTI Activists
across the state to bring to limelight the huge misuse of public money by
Odisha bureaucrats who are at helm of affairs and dictate the term for
renovation of their office and residence and other work. It has been found that
when an officer joins in new post, he or she immediately starts renovating his or her office mindlessly without
bothering its requirement and last repair work done. The offices and residence
of the officers get renovated time and again even twice and thrice in a year,
when there is transfer or new posting
and change in allotment of quarter. A few days back, I have exposed how huge
amount of Rs. 32 lakh has been spent for renovation of office
of Managing Director of
IDCO.
RTI Application was submitted to the PIO,
office of the Collector, Kalahandi
seeking information about
renovation of residence office of
Collector from 2010-11 to 2015-16. The present
Collector of Kalahandi is Dr. Brunda D. IAS. On 31.10.16, the
Executive Engineer, Kalahandi (R&B) has provided the information that an
amount of Rs. 44 lakhs has been spent
for renovation of residence office of Collector within six years. The details are as follows.
