JAMMU, Mar 5: Four more MLAs in J&K demanded House Committe over alleged Jal Jeevan mission Scam.
Several members of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly on Wednesday alleged bungling in the Jal Jeevan Mission and demanded a House committee be set up to investigate the matter.
Minister for Jal Shakti Javed Rana assured the House that action would be taken against officials who provided incorrect answers.
MLA Dr Mohammad Shafi Wani however expressed dissatisfaction with the minister’s response.
Congress Legislative Party leader G A Mir termed the Jal Jeevan Mission a major scam in Jammu and Kashmir and insisted on a thorough probe.
“Even a BJP legislator has now raised concerns. A House committee must be formed,” he said.
Nizamuddin Bhat said that even a former secretary of the department had alleged irregularities in the mission. “A House committee should be set up to investigate these claims,” he demanded.
AAP MLA Mehraj Malik also echoed similar concerns, alleging massive corruption in the mission and calling for an inquiry.
“Officials are misleading the House by providing incorrect information,” he said.
