Collector Alarmelmangai D. has made it mandatory for the industrial establishments to take prior permission from district administration before executing any project from CSR fund. The work done without approval would not be considered valid, she warned.
The instructions were issued in the meeting convened here the other day, while reviewing the works done in the last financial year from CSR quota and the proposed works for the current financial year.
In the meeting, the collector directed the SDM to issue notices under Section 133 of Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPc) to Anjani Steel, Maa Bangla limited, Shiv Shakti, Singhal Enterprises, Ambika Ispat, Nav Durga, Maa Kaali and BS Sponge for not completing patchwork of the road connecting Raigarh to Bade Rampur via Hameer Chowk. Besides, the Collector also instructed to put a ban on the movement of heavy vehicles of the above companies on this road.
The district administration had entrusted the job of construction and patchwork of these roads which have gone dilapidated due to passing of heavy vehicles to these companies. SDM KS Mandavi, mining officer SS Nag and regional transport officer Neelkanth Sahu were asked to ensure appropriate action in this regards.
The collector warned them that misuse of CSR fund would not be tolerated at any cost and proposal for any work would be verified by the committee to be constituted under the direction of District Panchayat CEO. She asked the officials of these companies to appoint community teachers.
