MANAGEMENT BECAME SILENT SEER

Talcher:IWSS,(Integrated Water Supply Scheme) has been operated under Lingaraj  Area  of MCL since 2010 and before it was in the custody of Talcher Area management. The prime aim and objectives of IWSS to supply purified drinking water to all established colonies under different areas of MCL.Talcher and their peripheral villages. Around 14 (fourteen ) big water pumps are being engaged for supplying of drinking water. Everything was in a right order from mechanical equipment to water purified materials at the time of handing over the IWSS plant from Talcher Area in the year 2010, after that no any registers are maintaining  showing stocks of materials, mechanical equipment etc. Several irregularities and malpractices are being conducted by a particular person named Chittaranjan Tripathy, Foreman I/C of Lingaraj Area has been posted at IWSS since last 25 years to look after this sensitive nature of job.

Though  all the maintenance work of machineries, purchase of materials and day to day AMC are being carried out by pen and paper, actually due to a combination of  dishonest officers all the illegal jobs are being done through which MCL. Has been loosingcrores of  rupees  p.a. on the other hand inhabitants of established colonies and its periphery villages are not getting sufficient purified drinking water through out the year. Every day someone complains regarding shortage of drinking waterbefore the management of Lingaraj Area, but the authority concerned does not pay any heed to this sensitive issues.

HQ.Burla, Sambalpur vide his office letter no. LA/ 09 dtd. 14/07/2020 and another letter bearing no. LA /15 dtd. 18/11/2020 regarding all the detailed irregularities intentionally caused by In charge of IWSS KUMAR BIJAY and CHITTARANJAN TRIPATHY for investigation and necessary action against the culprits. After receiving the complain from Manoranjan Pradhan, CVO of MCL. , HQ. considered the matter and  advise the Lingaraj Area authority to take action, that is why the L.A. management transferred ChitaranjanTripathy Foreman I/C  from  IWSS to Lingaraj Open Cast Project vide their letter no. MCL/GM(LA) /PERS/Trans/ F-01 /2021 /41 dtd. 07/01/2021, but it is a matter of astonishing that after a week that ChittaranjanTripathy once again kept in abeyance by the General Manager ,Lingaraj Area vide their letter no.MCL/GM (LA) /PERS/Trans /F-01 /2021 / 088 dtd. 18/01/2021.
