I got to know that in most of the cases, the sarpanches of the Panchayaths were found to have committed irregularities in connivance with MROs. I think there will be an effort by the investigating officer to inspect a considerable number of dwellings by undertaking door-to-door verification.
Wasnt there many people involved in the scandal? I think that hundreds of persons were found responsible for irregularities in the Indiramma housing scandal. It will be difficult to make everyone an accused. So, a report was submitted to the government seeking clarification on how to fix responsibility against those involved in the scam. But, in my opinion, each person should get strict actions.
I came to know that, of the five lakh houses constructed in 10 districts, nearly one lakh dwellings were allotted to ineligible persons, including those who were not from below poverty line families. Indiramma houses were meant for poor families, especially white card-holders.
Actually, you know, the Indiramma housing scheme was taken up during the period of 2004 to 2014 and now, there has been many probes on this and urging the court to take actions against the quilty persons included in the scam. I came to know that the CID has realized that corruption reigned supreme in every aspect of the programme, right from awarding contracts to allotment of houses to beneficiaries.
Hey, yeah..the Indiramma housing scam actually had a very large scale irregularities in the scheme. Now, recently, following the scam being caught, the CID has said village sarpanches and mandal revenue officer (MRO) formed a nexus and ensured that ineligible persons cornered the benefit. I think this is the latest news about this.
