‘Action will be taken against erring officials’

NIZAMABAD: Member of Parliament and Chairman of District Vigilance Monitoring Committee Madhu Goud Yaskhi has made it clear that the authorities concerned would be held responsible if the funds allocated under the Centrally-sponsored schemes did not percolate down to the targeted ones.

Reviewing the implementation of various schemes and programmes funded by the Central government at the Vigilance Monitoring Committee meeting here on Tuesday, Mr. Goud said henceforth the review would be conducted once in every three months.

When the members brought to his notice that some persons having two job cards were indulged in corrupt practices and drawing amount from Post Offices in Lingampet mandal, he asked Joint Collector M. Jagannatham and Project Director, DWMA Prabhanjan Rao to conduct an inquiry into the charge immediately.

The members also demanded that criminal cases be booked on the Field Assistants as in association with some persons they swindled the amount to the tune of Rs. 3.75 crore in the Employment Guarantee Scheme. They said with the FAs recruited in other districts being posted in the district the educated unemployed youth in the district were losing employment opportunity.

The members who pointed out that Rs. 10 crore of the BRG Fund was allocated to welfare hostels against the rules relented when Mr. Madhu Goud assured them that he along with Zaheerabad MP Suresh Shetkar would try for the sanction of another Rs. 10 crore to gram panchayats, anganwadis and Mandal Praja Parishad buildings.

The meeting resolved to put a complaint box at the meeting hall before the start of the review and asked the authorities to take action on the complaints dropped in the box within 15 days. Raising the issue of drinking water scarcity at Yellareddy town Mr. Shetkar asked the authorities to solve the problem.
