THE 23 non-existent farm ponds which the Vigilance is investigating in Rayagada district could be just tip of the iceberg as the anti-corruption agency is now looking at over 100 such mini waterbodies that the Watershed officials allegedly dug up on 'pen and paper' and embezzled huge amount of government funds.

The scam over excavation of farm ponds under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) scheme came to light after Vigilance arrested four officials for allegedly embezzling funds to the tune of â‚č20 lakh towards excavation of 23 farm ponds in Kashipur.
