Alleging large-scale corruption in relief and rehabilitation work of dam oustees in the state, the Narmada Bachao Andolan on Wednesday demanded a CBI probe into the matter.
Leading a rally in Bhopal, NBA leader Medha Patkar said corruption amounting to crores of rupees in rehabilitation work was taking place, and a CBI probe should be immediately launched before documents were manipulated to save the culprits.
"A lobby of top officials, some local advocates and many others working as intermediaries, are involved in looting the state exchequer, as well as cheating the project affected persons, while siphoning a large chunk of money to be spent on rehabilitation," she alleged.
Corruption at this large scale could not occur without the
support of politicians and their names were even taken in informal chats amongst people, she alleged.
