No  information about  development projects  undertaken for KOTIA is  available with Koraput  district administration

 

Dear friends

   While laying  foundation of  so many projects  for all round  development of Kotia Gram Panchayt  through video conferencing on 6.2.21, Chief Minister said  that Rs. 150 crore had been utilized   for  development of Kotia GP and  declared new  projects worth Rs. 18 crore  for  the  said Panchayat.  Keeping it in view, RTI Application dt. 8.2.21 was filed  in the  office  of the  Collector, Koraput seeking  the  following  information.

 i. Provide list  of the projects undertaken  for  which Rs. 150  crore  has been  utilized  or  projects  on-going  in Kotia GP. (Year-wise).

ii.                 Provide list  of the projects  declared by Chief  Minister  to be undertaken  with  financial provision of Rs. 18 crore  and date of sanction of amount for each project.

 It was  requested  to the PIO that  RTI Application may be forwarded  to different public authorities  under section 6(3)  of the RTI Act   in case  of non-availability  of  information.

 On 24.2.21,  the PIO, office  of DRDA, Koraput sent a letter  stating  that  there  is no project proposal / estimates  received  in connection with  Development works  at Kotia Gram Panchayat  since 2015 to till date covering  the amount of Rs. 18 crore  and Rs. 150 crore. It  means  no such  any  project  has been undertaken so far.

 The  claim of  Chief Minister about  expenditure  of Rs. 150  crore  for Kotia development  in the last five years  is blatant lie  and full of deception.
