Holding. Jaljeevan Mission has been started to provide clean and adequate water in rural areas. The target of ‘Har Ghar Nal Se Jal’ has been fixed by the year 2024. But, the band of Jal Jeevan Mission has played in Melghat. After the irregularities in the works of Jal Jeevan Mission were exposed, the Chief Executive Officer of the Zilla Parishad, Avishant Panda, ordered an inquiry and sent the inquiry committee to Dharani. But the members of this inquiry committee have themselves faced the investigation. The head of the inquiry committee, who has been the deputy engineer of Dharani, has already been investigated in some cases. Due to which question marks are being raised on the investigation of the mission itself.
Only superficial examination
It seems that Raghuvanshi, the head of the inquiry committee and the then deputy engineer of Dharani Zilla Parishad water supply department, has accepted the post of Dharani sub-engineer during the investigation. While inspecting the work, Raghuvanshi is giving instructions to the concerned contractors without taking the feedback of the beneficiaries and related photographs in the work where irregularities were found. In such a situation, the purpose of investigation of the Chief Executive Officer of the Zilla Parishad, Avishant Panda, seems to be failing in the Dharani Jal Jeevan Mission. Chief Executive Officer of Zilla Parishad, Avishyant Panda himself visited Dharani and said that there is an urgent need for objective inquiry and action.
primary test only
This is only a preliminary investigation. The inquiry committee has not been constituted and sent. War room of Jal Jeevan Mission has been set up. The officials there have been sent to Dharani for preliminary investigation. All the works will be audited and further action will be taken only after investigation under the guidance of high level officials. The contractors who do any irregularity in the work will be blacklisted. – Avishyant Panda, Zip CO
