CAG indicts UP govt of NRHM scam worth over 5000 cr

The Controller and Auditor General, CAG has indicted the Uttar Pradesh Government of anomolies in spending around 5,000 crore rupees under the National Rural Health Mission – NRHM.

According to PTI, the CAG probing the NRHM scam, has submitted its report to the State Governor, saying it has found anomalies under the scheme in about two dozen districts of the state.

The CAG says, the state health department failed to give proper details of spending of about 5,000 crore rupees out of the 8,657 crore rupees given to the state.

The entire amount was reportedly transferred through a non registered society.

Contracts worth 1,170 crore rupees were given against the open tendering process and agreements flouted established norms.

Only one officer of the Principal Secretary rank was making all crucial purchase decisions while the rules suggest that three officers of this rank should be the part of the decision making body.

The report is yet to be disclosed officially.
