The Accountant General's audit findings about financial violations under the Jal Jeevan Mission prompted the Public Health Engineering Department to take decisive action.
Three schemes excess payments Rs 93,42,382 for the Greater Goroimari PWSS, Rs 2,02,532 for the Mubai PWSS, and Rs 3,05,557 for the Jankha PWSS were quickly recovered.
Due to the closure of the relevant account, the first instance needed orders from the Ministry of Jal Shakti, but two of the recovered funds were put into the SNA account. The department took action against procurement malpractice in addition to the financial fixes.
Following the submission of fraudulent paperwork for a laboratory equipment tender, the Mission Directorate placed M/s Dal Thom's Scientific on a three-year blacklist under the Assam Public Procurement Act, 2017 and Rules, 2020.
