Layers of collusion, evaluation fraud & compensation scam in NHAI projects

Shimla, July 13 (UNI) In light of Himachal Pradesh facing massive destruction of life and property in the ongoing monsoon season besides exposing many scams in the National Highway Projects across the state, a report prepared by the state government land acquisition officer exposed number of irregularities in the various projects executed in the state.The officers stated that in the guise of national interest or the highway development, walls of personal interests start to be built on the foundation of planning.
"When the processes from acquisition to compensation distribution sink in the quagmire of planned corruption, and when government schemes become the 'golden gates' for a few officials and their close beneficiaries instead of serving the common man, then this is not only a misuse of public money but also raises a serious question mark on the administrative integrity of the state," the report says.
The facts coming to light in the NHAI four-lane project are pointing towards a horrifying reality—where open bids were made for 'personal interests' in the name of a 'public project' and both law and morality were flouted in the manipulation of land, houses, Khasra and records.
