under NFSA and State Food Security Scheme in Odisha
Total amount
of Rs. 955, 16, 95,022.00 sanctioned for 95,51,695 families on 6.4.20
Dear friends
Just
after imposition of lockdown
due to COVID
pandemic, Chief Minister
declared COVID assistance Rs. 1000.00
for each card
holders ( all NFSA and SFSS beneficiaries ) in the State.
In the month of June, 2020, RTI Application was filed
to the offices of all
Collectors seeking
information about total amount
released to the district
for providing COVID assistance Rs. 1000 for
distribution among the beneficiaries, total no. of card holders
in the district, total amount
disbursed and amount
returned back .
From August
to December, 2020, the following
districts and few blocks provided
the information. Many
districts did not supply
any information. From
analysis of the information which is presented below , it was
observed that
A.
On 6.4.20, the
State Govt. released
Rs. 955 crore to provide COVID assistance Rs. 1000.00 for 95
lakh families in the state.
B.
It was found
that huge amount of money
returned back, as there was no
beneficiary to receive the money.
C.
Large
number of fake
beneficiaries have been
enrolled in NFSA list
in each district for
which the amount
could not be
delivered. Almost all the
district and Blocks have
returned the money, as
they could not
find any such beneficiaries.
D.
There are around
10,000 fake beneficiaries only in
Bhubaneswar listed by Govt. to loot food
items sanctioned under NFSA
by the Central Govt.
E.
Thousands of quintals
of rice and wheat are looted by
officials and leaders of Biju Janata Dal in the name of these fake
beneficiaries.
F.
It is estimated
that there are 2,50,000 fake beneficiaries enrolled in NFSA
list across the state to
loot foodgrains under NFSA and
SFSS .
G.
Hundreds of crores
of rupees are looted in the
name of fake beneficiaries
enrolled in each district .

This is one of the Mega Scams in Odisha
