High-level sources said the Centre has sent a letter to all the five irrigation corporations of the state, seeking details of the projects, names of contractors and the status of the work. The Gosikhurd National Irrigation Project in Vidarbha, whose cost shot up from Rs 372 crore to Rs 7,777 crore, will also be scrutinized. "The Centre's directive is unusual because this is the first time it has sought such in-depth information,'' they said.
TOI has also learned that a Central Vigilance Commission team collected data from the Vidarbha Irrigation Development Corporation HQ in Nagpur a few days ago. Sources said the CVC's inquiry could be a precursor to a much larger CBI probe in the future.
The move is the latest fallout of the mega irrigation scam, exposed through a series of TOIreports over the past six months. The exposes led to the resignation , last month, of deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar, who headed the state water resources department between 1999 and 2010. TOI's investigations revealed that as much as Rs 35,000 crore could have been siphoned off by a politician-bureaucrat-contractor nexus on dud irrigation projects.
The Central Water Commission has asked for information on contracts, expenses and irrigation potential created under the acclerated irrigation benefit programme (AIBP).
