Irregularities in the construction of school building in Kailali even after an allocation of Rs 4 million

Dhangadhi: The construction of a school building at Ghodaghodi in Kailali, which has been collecting a commission on a plan basis, has also been disrupted. The municipality has been accused of collusion in implementing the school building plan.

The municipality has repeatedly allocated Rs 4 million for the construction of the five-room building of Sukhad National Secondary School. But the foundation work of the school examination hall has not been completed yet. Former Campus Chief of Ghodaghodi Multipurpose Campus Laxmi Raj Bhatrai said that Rs 4 million was spent on the construction of the foundation of the school building. '4 million has been evacuated from the National Higher Secondary School building.

Nothing has been done. Only the foundation has been laid. UML cadres have eaten together, 'he said. Ghodaghodi Municipality has allocated Rs. 1.8 million for the construction of school buildings in the fiscal year 2074/07. 2.2 million budgets have been allocated in the Fiscal Year 2075/07.

The municipality claims that only 1.389 million was spent in 2075/076. But the municipality has not given the figure of 1.8 million expenditure. The foundation work of the school building is also against the standards, said Karna Bhandari, principal of Rastriya Madhyamik Vidyalaya, Sukhad. The foundation of the five-room building has been laid. "We are not aware of the budget," he said. We don't even have an estimate. The technicians said it was not up to standard.

The municipality, which has been accused of corruption in the construction of school buildings through the Consumers Committee, has not allocated a budget in the last fiscal year. No budget has been allocated for the construction of the building in the last three fiscal years. The construction work of the building is in abeyance after the municipality stopped allocating funds. Chief Administrative Officer of Ghodaghodi Municipality Khagendra Bahadur Singh said that no budget has been allocated for the construction of the school building in the current fiscal year. "We have sent an engineer to study. 1.389 million has been spent.

You have not received the expenses incurred in 2074/075. We are looking for that, "he said. In Ghodaghodi municipality, only UML cadres can be the chairperson of the consumer committee. A consumer committee has been taking commission up to 30 percent of the municipal plan amount.
