The Union Ministry of Rural Development has directed the State Government to stop all the ongoing desilting works of minor irrigation tanks taken up under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) as they were not productive.
The State should conduct proper audit/inquiry of all desilting works of MI tanks taken up under the scheme and submit an action taken report to the Central Government.
The development followed an inspection by a Central team comprising project officers Hansal Suthar, Raj Kumar Prasad and Ruchi Sinha in Kamareddy, Nalgonda, Khammam, Jangaon and Hanamkonda districts from June 9 to 12.
