Belagavi: Files referring to more than a few building works under the jurisdiction of Belagavi City Corporation (BCC) have gone missing. While officers say that the recordsdata had been misplaced, councilors allege that it is a planned act.
The incident came as much as mild when Minaxi Chigare, councillor, ward no. 48, raised the issue at a recent council meeting. Backing her, many councilors complained of missing recordsdata. They said that the missing recordsdata pertain to projects that have been in ultimate level of implementation.
Speaking to TOI, Minaxi, said growing a garden in about 6 gunta of land owned by BCC at Shivaji Nagar is a 4 year-old call for of the native citizens. "After many struggle, I got the garden sanctioned in our area. The mayor as well the corporation commissioner approved it. But when it came to the tender process, the files went missing. I have been given different reasons since the past four years. There is no clarity. If the file is not found and garden work does not started till the next council meeting, I will go on an indefinite strike against the officials," she warned.
Opposition leader in the council, Deepak Jamakhandi said that previously 4 years, seven recordsdata referring to more than a few building works have gone missing. "Even after repeated reminders from councilors, there has been no action. Such cases do not happen with the files of MLAs. Some files are deliberately made to go missing due to political pressures," he alleged.
Shashidhar Kurer, BCC commissioner, said the missing of recordsdata due to human error cannot be dominated out. "But this happens very rarely. The four year-old file of ward no. 48 about garden work has been found and measures are being taken up to implement the project. We are coming with comprehensive plans with the file monitoring system which will ease the process and maintain proper data of all files," he said.
Kurer informed that that about 200 recordsdata move from table to table on a daily basis.
