The General Administration (GA) Department on Friday asked for a report from the Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA), the Cuttack Development Authority (CDA) and the Odisha State Housing Board Department (OSHB) about their progress in the probe into the illegal allotment of houses and plots under the discretionary quota (DQ).
The GA Department Principal Secretary in a letter asked the BDA, CDA and OSHB to submit a report within seven days, after which the Chief Secretary will hold a review meeting, sources said.
The probe is being carried out irregularities in the DQ allotment as per the recommendation of the special task force led by former Finance Department Additional Chief Secretary Taradatt.
