Times of India: Indore: Tuesday, 09 September 2014.
The Mhow Janpad Panchayat has recovered Rs 2 lakh
from the sarpanch and secretary of Badgonda village panchayat for alleged
misuse of public money. Instead of utilizing the amount in public works, the
duo transferred the money to their personal account. The recovery was done on
the orders issued by a former SDM.
According to Panchayat sources, Badgonda sarpanch
Lakshmibai and secretary Mahendra Chowdhry had diverted Rs 4.3 lakh sanctioned
to the panchayat for carrying out various development works in the village on
October 20, 2011. On the basis of RTI information, a village panch Pramila
Mandiya, had filed a case against Sarpanch and secretary in the revenue court
of Mhow SDM KVS Chowdhry. It was found that a sum of Rs 208200 was allegedly
misused by them and the court issued orders to recover the amount.
Mhow janpad panchayat CEO Narendra Bhawsar told
that the recovery was done according to the rules and regulations of Panchayati
Raj Act.
