Mysuru: Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) President H. V. Rajeev said that a probe by a State agency will be conducted into large scale shady deals that took place in the last 20 to 30 years and missing files in MUDA.
Speaking to mediapersons here on Tuesday April 26 Rajeev said, “In the special drive conducted on April 23 and 24, over 216 ‘abnormal’ records have been detected and their authenticity is being determined by comparing the records with the records in the auditing Department. After the process, action will be taken accordingly and the people involved will be brought to book.”
Six teams have been formed under five MUDA Tahsildars and one Assistant Secretary and the overall In-Charge have been given to the MUDA Secretary. The teams will unearth the mystery behind the missing pages of the files, he added.
The teams will ensure that no files are taken away from the record room without authorisation and without following due process. The teams will ensure that none of the files in the record room is tampered with. Cataloguing, indexing and scanning of files are in progress and this part of digitisation will help safeguard records, the MUDA Chairman said.
There are some ledger pages where no entries have been made and it is not clear why certain pages of the ledgers have been kept blank. There are also few ledgers where only the site numbers have been entered and there are no records to support this even in the record room. “These cases have been handed over to the technical team to physically check the layout plan and also examine the present status of the land. A suitable decision will be taken after the technical team will submit the report,” he added.
