Frame another panel to probe alleged loss to exchequer: Govt to H&UDD

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Feb 26: The Government has directed the Housing and Urban Development Department (H&UDD) to constitute another committee to probe the alleged financial loss caused to the State exchequer by then Director Urban Local Bodies, Kashmir.
As per an office memorandum of the General Administration Department (Vigilance), a report submitted by a committee constituted earlier by the H&UDD, to probe the allegations of the financial loss caused by the then Director Urban Local Bodies, Kashmir, was very vague in nature since the committee members were not technically sound enough to calculate the loss and thus, the aspect of loss, if any, caused to the Government exchequer.
As such, the GAD has directed the H&UDD to constitute another expert committee, consisting of officers/officials who are technically sound, well-versed with the domain and competent enough, for examining the aspect of loss in the matter.
The committee so constituted afresh shall submit an explicit report to the H&UDD so that the Department shall further examine/consider the issue for taking appropriate action and submit ATR to the GAD.
