Probing Jal Jeevan Mission ‘irregularities’ in J&K, House panel seeks help — from public

The House Committee probing alleged irregularities in the implementation of schemes under the Jal Jeevan Mission in Jammu and Kashmir is seeking HELP from an unlikely quarter — the general public.

In a public notice on July 4, the committee — set up to probe the allegations in March — sought information from “whistleblowers/ stakeholders/ general public” urging them to bring into the notice of the House Committee “their respective complaints, if any, relating to non-provision of tap connections, usage of substandard materials, incomplete/abandoned schemes, corrupt practices or mismanagement or any other issue defeating the objectives of Jal Jeevan Mission”.

Urging the general public to volunteer information, Tanvir Sadiq, the chief spokesperson for the ruling National Conference, said Monday that the House Committee on JJM was formed after “widespread concern and unanimous demand from legislators” over “serious irregularities” in the implementation of the Jal Shakti scheme ranging from substandard material to incomplete works and misuse of funds.

He emphasised that with a view to ensuring transparency and accountability” if anyone is aware of details of wrongdoing in the scheme, they should speak up.
