CUTTACK: The Government has introduced many schemes for the poor. The poor people are getting benefits, but some uneducated rural mass get it in pen and paper only. Happy moments of getting the schemes, turns into bitter experiences of harassment which has happened in the case of Bishnu Charan Dehuri of Jayamangalpur under Narasinghpur block of Cuttack district.
Dehuri was selected in Indira Awas Yojna (IAY) by the members of Pallisabha of his village in 2003. For getting a house under IAY, he frequently ran to block office for the order, but failed. Later, he offered Rs 200 to a Gram Sevak for the order and the very next day he got the work order. Dehuri started his house construction work by borrowing Rs 20,000 from his neighbours to continue the work. When he went for the work order money after completion of his house construction, he faced the same situation like before. He was asked for Rs 350 for clearing the Bank cheque of Rs 5,000.
That was the last cheque he had received. Till today he is clueless about sanctioned money for his Indira Awas house. Interest of his borrowed money reached to Rs 30,000, but he yet to get the IAY money. On the other hand, block officials were in dark about his file. The nexus between the local petty village-level politicians and block officials could not be ruled out, alleged the villagers.
