Misleading information on NIDAN Scheme

Misleading information provided by State Govt.in respect of budgetary allocation for " NIDAN"  scheme

NIDAN scheme of Odisha Govt. which stated from 1.1.18 aims free diagnostic services to all patients in public health facilities in the state.it provides free of cost high-end pathology test, digital x-ray, CT-Scan, MRI etc. RTI Application was filed to Health and Family welfare dept. seeking information about details of budgetary allocation made for this scheme.  Health and Family welfare dept. supplied the information that as it is state scheme,  state Govt. has made budgetary allocation of Rs. 23.72 crore ( 2017-18) and Rs. 91.66 crore ( 2018-19).

But Mission Directorate, National Health Mission has provided that budget for this scheme (,2017-18) is Rs. 50.54 crore ( central budget - 26.82 crore and State budget-23.72 crore). Budget for 2018-19 is Rs. 140.63 crore ( central budget - 60.63 crore and state budget -80.00 crore ) .

which is right. The officials of State Govt. are habituated to spread false, misleading and self-contradictory information in public domain and hijack central Govt. Scheme.  The people of Odisha must be aware and should scrutinise any information advertised by Govt. By declaring NIDAN scheme, the State Govt. has taken much credit that his Govt. is committed to provide free health service and free test in Govt. Hospital. But in reality, it is central scheme and central budget. The State Govt has just added value to it.

Implementation of Recommendation of Task Force on “Land Scam” is suppressed by GA Dept.,

Implementation of Recommendation of Task Force on “Land Scam”  is deliberately suppressed by GA Dept., Govt. of Odisha

( Exposed  under RTI)

Dear  friends

Bureaucrats of  Department of General Administration, Govt. of Odisha  which is under  the control of Chief Minister  has   hatched  deep-laid  conspiracy  not  to implement  recommendation of Task Force and suppress  all the administrative process in order to save  the illegal allottes  who have taken multiple plots  by filling false  affidavit and  submitting  false  information.  The  corrupt bureaucrats with help of Chief Minister office   are  trying hard  to dilute  the investigation.  

 In view of CAG report about  alleged irregularities in allotment of land/houses/flats by BhubaneswarDevelopment Authority(BDA), Cuttack Development Authority (CDA),Odisha State Housing Board (OSHB) and General Administration (GA) Department, the State Government had constituted a  Task Force  on dated 2.8.2014  to review all the allotment of more than one land/houses/flats to the members of the samefamily and allotment under discretionary quota to ineligible persons from 1995 to 2014 and submit its report within 4 months. 

The Task Force led by Dr. Taradatt, Addl. Chief Secretary with the members such as Commissioner-cum-Secretary, H&UD Department and Special Secretary, Dept. of GA produced their report on 3.11.14. The report was placed before state cabinet meeting on 18.12.14 and it was endorsed with   Action Taken Report   which was later on published in official Gazette on 30.1.2015.

3. As per recommendation of Task Force  {48(2) } ,  GA Department    should take immediate    steps  for review and update  the list of allottees  who availed  the irregular  benefit of more  than one allotment of land /flat/ house  against specific schematic provision  on the basis of allotment  made prior to 1.1.1995. This process should be completed within a period of 3 months.   

Task Force  stipulates  that “ Multiple  allotments in favour of individuals or families can be listed out in  two ways i.e. (i) multiple allotments done after 01 .0l .1995 by BDA  and OSHB Bhubaneswar, and (ii) CDA and OSHB in cuttack. The  comprehensive details of beneficiaries of multiple .allotments,  however  cannot be worked out without verifying  allotment database of GA department, BDA, and OSHB for Bhubaneswar and CDA  for Cuttack. The lists of multiple allottees on the  basis of allotments after 01.01.1995. These lists are culled out from whenever the addresses reported in the Affidavit/ application seeking another allotment were of the respective Municipal area or Planned Area of Bhubaneswar or Cuttack, as the case may be. Instances of false Affidavits/applications could not be addressed. The lists are indicative and omission of some names is not ruled out considering variation in the reports furnished by the concerned agencies.

The Task Force recommends that BDA, OSHB and GA Department in conjunction with each other should take up another exercise to obtain comprehensive details including the allotments made prior to 01 .01 .19g5 to know the exact extent of individuals and families who have taken undue benefits of multiple allotments against the schematic provisions. Similar exercise is recommended for Cuttack by CDA and OSHB together.”

 After Action Taken Report of the Govt. to carry out  recommendation of Task Force, the Chief Secretary  has  conducted  two review meetings  of GA, BDA, CDA and OSHB  about  progress of the inquiry.

 Keeping it in view, I had submitted RTI Application to the GA Department, Govt. of Odisha seeking copy of updated list of allottees who availed land prior to 1995 prepared by GA Dept. following recommendation of Task Force .  If it has not been prepared, provide reasons thereof.

5. On 15.9.18., the PIO has replied that the list of allottees , who have availed land prior to 1995 , as required  has not yet prepared.

6. It is proved that the State Govt. has not yet carried out recommendation of Task Force which is required to identify the person who has taken multiple plots.  The State Govt. is deliberately not preparing pre-1995 allotments in order to save land scamsters.  Top Ministers, MLAs of BJD and senior bureaucrats and political influential persons are involved in this scham who have taken a number of plots by filling false affidavit and false information.  Nabin Patnaik, Chief Minister is trying hard to protect them.  That’s why no inquiry is conducted   and no action is taken against the allottees  by BDA, CDA, OSHB and GA.

False news is published in News paper in Odisha

False  news  is published  in News paper in Odisha 

On 6.8.18. We, on behalf of Odisha Soochana Adhikar Abhijan, had organized press meet exposing how Chief Minister's office and State Vigilance have masterminded conspiracy to suppress inquiry into land scam, a mega scam in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack causing loss of Rs. 20,000 core revenue loss to State exchequer.  Please  see the  full report-    https://odishasoochana.blogspot.com/2018/08/inquiry-into-mega-land-scam-is.html.  Just after few days, on 16.8.18, Sambad carried a news that multiple allotments of plots made by BDA will be cancelled within one month. (attached herewith) .

I  had  a doubt  about  the news . It was equally  surprising  that how BDA would cancel multiple allotments within one month.   Then to verify authenticity of information, I  filed RTI to BDA seeking photocopy of decision taken by BDA to cancel multiple allotments. On 29.9.18 and 3.10.18, the PIOs of Allotment Section.-1 and  Allotment section-2 has provided me information that " no such information is available ". It means no such decision has been taken to cancel multiple allotments. Now the question is who is wrong. Whether Sambad has released false news or BDA has concealed fact. This is one example  how false news is consciously propagated in public domain to confuse the people of Odisha. Odisha  bureaucracy  is seen habituated  to  release  false news  through paid media  to  deceive the people of Odisha  and to build up so-called image  of  Nabin Patnaik, Chief Minister. This  news is of their strategies  to  cheat  the people of Odisha.

I request readers not to get swayed away by the news published in news papers. To verify authenticity of news relating to BJD Govt.  and their plan and programme,  please file RTI to know the correct information. Presently most news are paid news and designed to glorify Nabin Patnaik Govt. which has destroyed our polity , economy everything.
