SMC’s corruption cost Rs 10 crore in one school’s wall painting goes viral!
Sambalpur – The Sambalpur Metropolitan Corporation, which is rumored to be embezzling millions of rupees, is once again in the spotlight today. The Sambalpur Metropolitan Corporation has taken up a special project to beautify the city, while wall paintings are being painted on the walls of schools and colleges. However, the cost of painting on the walls of the Brihril School in Ward 30 in the center of the city has become a hot topic. The Sambalpur Metropolitan Corporation’s estimated cost of Rs 1,075 lakh, or Rs 10.45 crore, for the wall painting on the walls of the same school, has also come as a surprise. Most importantly, the Sambalpur Metropolitan Corporation
Not only that, but the cost of building a 10-meter wall has not been estimated, but the cost of cutting the hand is also mentioned in the devotee’s wall. Asked by Pradeep Sahu, commissioner of SMC, about the incident, he said that the painter had made a mistake while writing the cost estimate. Earlier in the day, the Sambalpur Metropolitan Corporation had been accused of carrying out deadly corruption in wall painting. As a rule, the color of the weathered coat on the walls is supposed to be dead. But in the city wall paintings, far from the weather, the colors are dying out, so that the rainwater is flying away.
In this case, the Sambalpur Metropolitan Corporation was accused of embezzling crores of rupees in the name of this wall painting. At the same time, people are complaining that the broken walls are not being repaired and the paintings are being painted and the eyes are distorted. A self-help group has taken charge of the painting, which is being done on the walls of a government-run high school. The Sambalpur Metropolitan Corporation has estimated the cost at Rs 10 crore. If the Sambalpur Metropolitan Corporation spends so much money on painting a 10-meter wall of a school, it is easily conceivable how much more than 30 government schools in the city have spent on a wall painting, according to intellectuals. Meanwhile, the SMC authorities are now blaming it on printing errors. But since the start of the painting work under the SMC, one officer has been tasked with overseeing every painting and writing. If there were any printing errors, it would also be questionable as to what the officer in charge was doing at the time and why such a fatal error could not have been rectified.
