In contravention of guidelines, the city corporations of Ballari, Tumakuru and Vijayapura have “diverted” Rs 108.75 crore of funds, meant for the 'Chief Minister라이브 바카라 Nagarothana scheme', towards other projects, the Comptroller & Auditor General (CAG) has said.
The CAG라이브 바카라 performance audit on the 'Mukhyamantrigala Nagarothana scheme (phase-3) for city corporations' was tabled in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly on Friday.바카라 웹사이트The Nagarothana scheme (phase-3) 바카라 웹사이트at an estimated cost of Rs 1,000 crore was launched to upgrade infrastructure in 10 city corporations, with each one getting Rs 100 crore.
The performance audit covered the period 2014-15 to 2020-21 in Ballari, Mysuru, Tumakuru and Vijayapura. According to the CAG findings, "In contravention of the scheme guidelines, the test checked city corporations diverted Rs 108.75 crore (40 per cent of the total expenditure of Rs 269.28 crore) towards work taken up under other schemes."
It was towards “paying their contribution amounts for other schemes- AMRUT, Rajiv Gandhi Awas Yojana and 24x7 water supply- or on works being executed under other grants," it said. This deprived the city corporations of the full benefit which was to be accrued from the scheme, the CAG said, as it rejected the government라이브 바카라 claim that this was not diversion but utilisation of funds towards other schemes.
"Scheme guidelines specifically prohibited funding of works taken up under other schemes. Reply was also silent regarding utilisation of scheme funds for ineligible components such as payment of land compensation, construction of building etc," it added.
Further pointing out that appointment of three project management consultants (PMC) for Belagavi, Davangere, Hubballi-Dharwad, Mysuru, Shivamogga, Tumakuru and Vijayapura were “incorrect”, the CAG said, “undue favour led to works worth Rs 14.63 crore being awarded to these ineligible consultants." "They did not meet the selection criteria and were liable to be rejected," it said.
