Ichhavar (Navdunia representative). 12 thousand was withdrawn from my account by Vinod Assistant Secretary and it was said that money has been deposited in your account by the government by mistake. On gathering information, it was received that the government had put this money for toilets. On talking to the Sarpanch, Secretary and Assistant Secretary, they gave me this toilet seat and said that now the government has given this only for you. Now let’s see. If the government gives the rest of the goods, then we will give it to you, otherwise it does not matter. Along with this, 18 thousand rupees of employment guarantee scheme were also withdrawn from my account by the assistant secretary.
Shravan Kumar’s father Gorelal, a resident of village Dundalawa of Gadia, which comes under Janpad Panchayat Ichhawar, said and said that there is no development work in our village. Sarpanch, Secretary and Assistant Secretary are doing corruption together. Beneficiaries are not getting the benefits of any scheme. Secretaries and assistant secretaries do not do any work without paying money. When I told the secretary to get my land leased, a demand of thirty thousand rupees was made. Gadia, which comes under Janpad Panchayat Ichhawar, has become a center of corruption these days, where Sarpanch, Secretary and Employment Assistant are sharing the schemes of the government together. On visiting the spot, it was seen that the village of Panchayat Dundalawa is still looking for its basic facilities.
Open defecation in ODF Panchayat
This tribal-dominated village is still far away from its basic facilities, where the tribals have neither a place to live nor a toilet to defecate. Whereas ODF has been declared in Panchayat and Janpad Panchayat papers. Whereas almost all the villagers here are defecating in the open due to lack of toilets and are forced to live in slums due to lack of housing. Kaccha roads, kutcha houses, open defecation, tribals going out on cycles, starvation, have become the identity of this village today.
Corruption in employment guarantee scheme
The village’s Shravan Karma, Jasrath, Bhaiyalal Kajaliya told that neither the helpless people of the village are not getting the benefit of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, construction of toilets and Prime Minister’s Employment Guarantee Scheme. In all these schemes, sarpanch secretary and assistant secretary are being heavily corrupted. 20-20 thousand rupees are demanded by the secretary to give the benefit of the housing scheme. On asking for the toilet, they say that go in the open and enjoy the natural air, no work is done in the panchayat without taking money.
Eligible did not get benefit
There has also been a lot of corruption in the construction of toilets. In this, the eligible people were left out by adding the names of many ineligible people. In many places, money was withdrawn without toilets. In this whole affair, along with the sarpanch and secretary, the engineers of the district panchayat meet the clerk and the CEO, because even after all the complaints in these cases, no action is taken, only the investigation goes on.

open defecation
I have 5 members in my house and all of us have to go for open defecation due to lack of toilets. Neither we have been given the benefit of housing scheme by the government nor the demand for liquor and chicken along with money is made on seeking the benefit of toilet sarpanch and secretary scheme.

money is demanded
There is a lot of corruption in the Panchayat by the Secretary and Assistant Secretary. For this reason, the Panchayat here today is far behind as compared to other Panchayats. In our village, neither the benefit of housing scheme is being received nor the demand of money is made continuously by the secretary and assistant secretary on seeking the benefit of toilet.
Ramdayal Kajaliya, resident of Dundalawa
did not withdraw money
I have not withdrawn the money of any beneficiary. The allegation that these beneficiaries are making was the secretary before me.
Mansingh Verma, Secretary Gadia Panchayat
investigation will be done
This matter is not in my notice. The whole matter will be investigated tomorrow itself. If toilet seats have been given by withdrawing money or people are defecating in the open, then action will be taken if found guilty.
