A similar loot has come to light in Morigaon district
A similar loot has come to light in Morigaon district at a time when a
black chapter has been unearthed in the CAG report that hundreds of crores of
rupees have been looted in the name of updating the National Register of
Citizens. According to the complaint, the Morigaon district collector's office
has been running a loot raj for a long time with officials and staff.The
fact that a stakeholder in such a contractor circle was paid forty-seven (47)
lakh rupees to a printing press in a bill voucher without the date and
signature of any officer during the tenure of the then Deputy Commissioner of
the district Prakashranjan Gharphalia. It is alleged that in September last
year, the voluntary organization "Ganakantha" had filed an
application under the Right to Information Act alleging that the ownership of
the press, Purvanchal Offset, had been paid a huge amount of money through such
irregularities.
However,
the administration does not want to accept the allegation of such
irregularities in the Morigaon district collector's office in the days of the
government, which has always been assertive against corruption. Badan Sharma,
president Kameshwar Bordoloi, chief advisor and secretary Anil Chandra Pathak
of the voluntary organization named 'Ganakantha', had sent a memorandum to the
Chief Minister of Assam seeking a probe into the matter through the District
Collector's Prakash Ranjan Gharphalia at that time.
The
association suspects that the then district collector did not send the charge
sheet against him to the chief minister. As a result, the matter escalated, but
recently in the Morigaon district collector's office, many facts have been
carried out by this contractor circle during the tenure of the previous deputy
commissioners. It is to be noted that the circle of suppliers and contractors,
who have been in the office for a long time, has been looting the money by
making bills much more than the work with the help of the officer staff. There
is talk that Rs 47 lakh has been paid on the date and non-signature bill
vouchers for the sake of paying much more bills than the printing work done in
the name of the Purvanchal Offset owned by Ajit Kumar Roy.
At the same time, another firm in Morigaon town was paid crores of rupees
in the name of supply of N,R.C. products, where similar irregularities have
been alleged. After getting the bill vouchers of purvanchal offset through RT,
I, the issue of this company bringing old files to Guwahati with the help of employees
from the office to a former deputy commissioner has been discussed in the staff
of the deputy commissioner's office. the said supplier Several parties have also demanded an inquiry into the allegations that the
name of the institution has been included in the multi-crore bill. In the same way, many bills have already been submitted in the two
institutions mentioned in the name of the District Election Commission, and one
source knows that these bills are also in doubt. The interesting thing is that
in collaboration with the affairs officer, the bill of Rs. 47 lakhs and the
signatures of the subject were handed over by Ajit Kumar, the owner of eastern
offchat, to start his political security campaign after his information in this
chapter was released. Roy, who has failed to reach out to Water Resources Minister Piyush
Hazarika, was finally reassured by Tiwa Swayatva Parishad member Khagen Das,
understanding the time opportunity, trying to prove his closeness on social
media by taking two one-and-a-half pictures with the minister, which has upset
many BJP leaders and workers of The Jagiroad constituency. According to the
complaint, a section of employees of the branch, under the supervision of the
Morigaon district collector's office, in connivance with this contractor and
supplier circle, have earned non-compatible assets of income through
long-standing corruption.
Questions
have been raised in conscious circles whether the Chief Minister of Assam, who
has been reiterating from time to time that strict action has been taken
against corruption, will investigate such allegations of irregularities in the
Morigaon district collector's office.
