Srinagar: The residents of Bemina locality of Srinagar city Wednesday alleged that concerned Revenue official in league with higher ups has swindled large chunk of money meant for the flood victims.
A delegation from Ibrahim Colony Bemina led by Ghulam Muhammad Bhat alleged that Tehsildar shalteng G.A.Khan, Naib Tehsildar Bemina Parveez Ahmad and Patwari Arshid Ahmad Baba embezzled the cheque vide number 386497 that had been issued in his favour.
The delegation said that cheques had been issued on the names of flood victims which they never received. These officials have indulged in financial irregularities and to save their skin, they have been blaming each other for the mess. These officials avoid us on the one or the other pretext, the delegation said.
We suffered heavy loss due to floods and for construction purpose we applied for loan in Jammu and Kashmir Bank. We appeal to Revenue Minister to look into the matter. We are sure that it is a big scam and the officials related to the distribution of cheques have surely looted the exchequer in the name of flood victims, the residents said.
