Kalahandi: 19/05/26 (Fast News Odisha) The government is taking billions of rupees in taxes for the benefit of the people. While the people’s money is being spent in various philanthropic funds, in Jaipatna block Harilut is going on in the name of development. We’re not saying that, this rare picture from Ground Zero says. It is true that the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Department or RWSS has set up ‘Vasuda Jal Yojana’ and many solar pumps at a cost of crores of rupees, but the real picture is completely opposite. It has been alleged that the Basudha water project has fallen into disrepair in more than half of the areas. Visuals of broken water tanks, dry taps, and people’s hunger for water. The water is not coming out, the water tape has broken and is dry. Drinking water is far from it, even a tube well is not suitable for human consumption. While people are scrambling for potable water during this scorching summer season, Jayapatna officials seem to be busy lining their pockets. Where did the public funds go? Who benefited from this multi-million dollar project? The extent of the roots of this corruption will soon come to light through our ‘Zero Ground Report’. There is now a strong demand from the general public and the public for a high-level investigation and strict legal action against such corrupt officials.
