`Property amassed from corruption for schools`
Bihar CM Nitish Kumar said the property amassed by way of corrupt practices would be confiscated.
Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday
said the property amassed by way of corrupt practices would
be confiscated and used to build schools in Bihar.
"The property accumulated by way of corruption will be confiscated and used for opening much-needed schools," Kumar said while inaugurating a pilot project of `Bihar Centernary Private Tubewell` at Sarairanjan in Samastipur district. Referring to the confiscation of the palatial house of suspended IAS SS Verma, facing a case of amassing wealth to the tune of over Rs 1.40 crore disproportionate to known sources of income, Kumar said Bihar has now become the first state where property of a bureaucrat had been confiscated and a school opened in Patna.
"This is the first-ever such move which has started from Bihar," he said.
Stating that his government had launched a pilot project of sinking shallow tubewells and distribution of pump sets in Nalanda and Samastipur districts under Bihar Centenary Tubewell project for raising the production of crops, Chief Minister said the state government had set a target to set up 12,000 shallow tubewells under the project in Nalanda and Sarairanjan in Samastipur. He said the project would fulfill resources of irrigation to ensure rainbow revolution.
