How

Cooperative Bank to cover up mega corruption in the Bank
Dear friends 
On 21.3.18 while responding UDA Q
No. 45 in Odisha Legislative assembly, Sri Surya Narayan Patro, Minister for
Cooperation said that the Government  had
given order for inquiry  into alleged
huge corruption and irregularities in Odisha State Cooperative Bank  by  a
committee headed by Auditor General-cum-additional secretary of the office of
Registrar, Cooperatives.
 Keeping it in view, the following information
was sought under RTI dated 23.3.18 from the Department of Cooperation, Govt. of
Odisha , Secretariat, Bhubaneswar.

allegation (?) of corruption and irregularities 
in the Bank . It needs to be mentioned here that since last three years,
a number of complaints has been filed by a number of Social Activists seeking
an inquiry  into corruption and
irregularities in the Bank.  Two
vigilance case has also been filed against OSCB 
seeking inquiry  into it. But the vigilance
has not conducted any inquiry into it , as the 
big people are  involved in
it.  This is a 500 crore scam in Odisha.
