Srinagar, April 02: No doubts, J&K is notorious in many illegalities & has its position in the list of corrupt states/UT''s & now the Comptroller and Auditor of India in its report pointed out that a compensation amount of Rs 5.48 crore for 2014 flood victims is lying undisbursed while out of 58 DDOs eight have communicated wrong details to the bank.
The CAG said that payment of compensation in favour of various categories of victims of the flood in September 2014 was made through Direct Benefit Transfer by the DDOs after issuing bank advice along with the details of the beneficiaries.
But CAG said that a report, the scrutiny of the records (February 2019) revealed that compensation payments had not been credited into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries due to incomplete/ incorrect details communicated to the Bank by eight DDOs out of 58 DDOs of revenue department selected for test check.
It further added that in some cases, part payments were made to the beneficiaries in place of a one-time lump sum payment. As a result, an amount of Rs 5.48 crore was lying undisbursed (March 2019) in the bank accounts of these DDOs apart from interest earned.
Names of areas given by the CAG in its report include Kargil, Jammu (North & South), and Reasi. (Agencies)
