6.
The
Audit Team have completed this special audit and the same report has been submitted in 2016 to the GA Dept. for necessary
action at their end. It is
disheartening to note that
though special audit Report has been
submitted , Chief Minister has
not taken any steps for years together.
7.
The
Special audit Report has been
suppressed by Chief Secretary
Office to save top bureaucrats involved in multi-crore
land scam with tacit support from Chief Minister's office .
