A process has started to take action against the errant beneficiaries, who have received funds and got work orders under IAY, Mo Kudia and Biju Pucca Ghar schemes, but did not construct houses under Derabish block.
The block authority took such a decision by asking the Tehsildar to register certificate case under Orissa Public Demand Recovery Act against 505 defaulted beneficiaries following these beneficiaries did not turn up despite several notices issued to them for refunding the Government money.
According to official sources, as many as 36 beneficiaries of Balia gram panchayat (GP), 13 of Chandol GP, 24 of Cahtara Chakroda, eight of Choti GP, 36 under Danapur GP, 51 under Endor GP, 49 under Golarhat GP, eight under Janrabarimula GP, 27 under Kaupada GP, 16 under Khamala GP, 17 under Kurujanga GP, four under Kusiapala GP, 30 under laxminaryanapur GP, 40 under Mangalapur GP, 13 under Mukundapur GP, nine under Nahanga GP, 10 under Narasinghpur GP, 24 under
Palei GP, 18 under Ratadiakhandashai GP and 17 under Raghudeipur GP were identified as defaulters in the block.
Notably, the block authority had distributed funds under IAY, Mo Kudia and Biju Pucca Ghar schemes to the beneficiaries under 26 GPs from 2000 to 2012-13 financial year. During the period, as many as 1,154 beneficiaries have been identified as defaulters by the block authority as they failed to construct houses.
When contacted, Derabish Tehsildar Sumitra Pattnaik informed that she had received the letters in this regard and would very shortly write to the BDO of Derabish for
giving clarification for collecting revenue from the defaulters. After that she would register certificate case against the errant 505 defaulters.
