Social worker red-flags HRIDAY

Amritsar: A social activist complained to the Central Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) against alleged embezzlement of funds in non-schedule works conducted under the National Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana (HRIDAY) in the city. SS Sharma raised concern over the works conducted on various sites under the HRIDAY project. Sharma alleged that cracks have developed on the walls of the Ram Bagh Gate. “I suspect embezzlement of funds in non-schedule items by one of the then executive officer. I have written to the CVC in this regard. I have demanded third party inquiry for works conducted under the HRIDAY. The involvement of senior officials of the MC should be also probed,” said Sharma. “The CVC has recognised my complaint and initiated the investigation,” he said. TNS
