Kami Dev & Cultural Board member alleges corruption in the Board
Kalimpong, 02 Apr:
Kami
Development and Cultural Board member, Subodh Khati, today alleged
corruption in construction houses of beneficiaries from the community.
Mr
Khati, along with his team, today accused that the Board chairperson,
KB Baraily, vice-chairperson Yakin Lamichaney and Member Secretary of
the Board, the SDO Kalimpong, of being involved in the said corruption.
Mr
Khati said, “We have the sought a list of 500 beneficiaries whose
houses were supposedly completed in 2017 and utilization certificates
submitted to government. These constructions were done only on paper.”
He
added that when they verified the list, they found that only 300 houses
had been completed, and in 150 cases, construction was still underway
and for 50 beneficiaries, work had not even begun. Utilisation
Certificates had however been submitted for all of the, he added.
The list of 500 beneficiaries was secured through an RTI application.
Meanwhile,
when contacted, the Kami Development and Cultural Board chairperson
said that Subodh Khati and his team had resigned last year during the
agitation.
“Now,
they want to come back but they cannot be reinstated hence they are
leveling these allegations. He claims that construction material was
diverted during the agitation, which is true because many beneficiaries
said they lacked space for unloading the material. We have nothing to
hide which is why we gave the answer to the RTI application,” he said.
