Officials of the Vigilance and Enforcement (V&E) conducted inspections and found that material being supplied for Jagananna Housing Scheme (Pedalandariki Illu) was being misused.
“Some contractors lured the beneficiaries with paltry sums and took the material (cement, steel and sand) supplied by the government to the beneficiaries, and were selling or using the construction material for private houses. We are investigating how much material was diverted,” said V&E Additional Director General Shankha Brata Bagchi.
