Allegations of widespread corruption in MGNREGA projects have surfaced in Karlamunda block of Kalahandi district. In Gajbahal Panchayat, approximately 9.78 lakh rupees are being spent on guard walls and stone pitching for the Khaliaband tank under the Amrit Sarovar scheme. Locals allege that the tank is dry and not deep enough to hold water, yet funds are being spent on surface stone work instead of excavation. Residents suspect a planned misappropriation of government funds and have demanded a high-level investigation by the district administration. https://sambad.in/district/kalahandi/corruption-in-pond-11837161 #creator program
