JAMMU, Aug 19: Member Legislative Assembly (MLA) and working Chairman, National Panthers Party (NPP) Harsh Dev Singh expressed concern over misutilization of development funds in Public Works Department (PWD).
Singh said that CAG report presented in the House on the last day of previous Budget session has pointed out that an un-authorized liability of Rs 110.82 crore was created on account of un-approved works but the department has failed to book the culprits till date.
He said that thousands of construction works have been awarded to blue eyed contractors by the Public Works Department in violation of all prescribed norms.
Harsh Dev Singh demanded thorough probe into the working of the department and urged upon the Governor to intervene to prevent the public exchequer from further loot and plunder.
