Expenditure for Repair and Renovation of Office and Residence of Collector and SP, Odisha

Expenditure  for Repair and Renovation of Office and
Residence of Collector and SP- A testimony of Mindless Expenditure and loot  of public money   by Odisha Bureaucrats
(
Exposed  under RTI by  December, 2018 )
RTI
Application was filed  to 10   districts 
seeking  information  about details of  expenditure made  for 
renovation and repair  of  office 
and Residence of Collectors and SPs from 2014-15 to 2018-19. Only 5 districts
have provided the information.  This
information suffers from ambiguities, missing data and invisible letters.  However , I 
have taken a lot  of pains  to compile 
it  and put  it  in
public domain  for  knowledge 
of the  public.  It 
shows  how bureaucrats  are 
recklessly and mindlessly misutilising  lakhs of 
rupees ( public  money)   IN
EVERY YEAR
 for  their 
comfort and luxury. This 
expenditure  has been made  in most 
poverty-stricken and 
backward  districts  of our 
state.  These Collectors have  taken 
public money  as  their paternal  property 
and spent  at  their whims and fancies.  The 
detailed year-wise   information
provided  by the PIOs upto Dec. 2018  is
presented  below.
