JULY 16, 2025 ISSUE

The residents of Mallabuchan village, Tehsil Pattan, Block Sherabad Khore, District Baramulla, have submitted a detailed formal complaint to the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on 14 July 2025, alleging corruption, misuse of public funds, and procedural fraud in the implementation of the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) in their area.

- Observer News Service

The complaint—filed through Er. Irfan Banka, Chairman of the J&K RTI Foundation—presents documentary evidence and RTI replies showing that:

The Village Action Plan (VAP) and Pani Samitis were falsely claimed to have been approved by the Gram Sabha.

The village was illegally bifurcated between two districts for water supply: Hurrah Mohalla was connected to WSS Narabal Magam (Budgam) while Sofi Mohalla was forcefully linked to WSS Ahmadpora (Baramulla) without consent or planning by the Gram Sabha.
