Visited Arkata Tank with Dist. Social Auditor, Nuapada. It was found that the labourers engaged earlier and the work was done satisfactorily but payment was not given to them due to absence of case records and misplace of MB. It came to know that the entire work measurement was done by the GRS itself and the Bills are blindly signed by the JE Gauri Singh in good faith but the second measurements and the Second RA Bill was failed to sign by him which effected the release of payment. Many of the accountswere deposited with payments without work and the people worked are deprived to get payment as per the statement received from Labourers. The GRS could not able to produced records as the same as seized by Block officials earlier due to dispute raised. The PEO was intentionally absent as if he was knowing about our tour. The MB and other measurement particulars are manipulated and misplaced by the JE, Gauri Singh, engaged at the time for execution of work.
