Minister of State (Rural Development) Mahendra Singh informed that the department is flooded with complaints of gross irregularities in central government aided schemes during the previous governments.
“We want to know complete details of job cards, employment day, physical verification of quality of work done.”
The state has also received serious complaints of fake allotments of houses to rural and urban poor and hence verification of the beneficiaries was being done.
