Kalash Boshak, head of a local panchayat in Bihar, met District Magistrate Nayan Kumar to demand a review of MNREGA records and site visits after alleging financial irregularities.
In the state of Bihar, allegations of financial irregularities have surfaced in the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) scheme. The claims were raised by the panchayat head of a village in the Teda Gach area, who accused local officials of misappropriating funds.
Kalash Boshak, the sarpanch, approached District Magistrate Nayan Kumar to present the evidence and requested a comprehensive audit of MNREGA records. He also demanded that the actual work sites be inspected to verify that the promised employment and wages were delivered.
The district magistrate acknowledged the complaint and assured that an official inquiry would be initiated. He said the investigation would involve reviewing financial documents and conducting site visits to confirm compliance with the scheme’s guidelines.
The demand comes amid growing scrutiny of MNREGA implementation across Bihar, where several districts have reported discrepancies in fund utilization. The outcome of the probe could influence future oversight and accountability measures for the program.
