Resettlement of Ex-Servicemen
Some allegations regarding running of resettlement schemes for Ex-servicemen by the officials of the Directorate General of Resettlement have been made by some individuals / agencies. The allegations are regarding availing of multiple benefits by some ESM in connivance with the officials of DGR.
These allegations were investigated by an In-house Enquiry Committee which submitted its report. The matter has been handed over to Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs for a detailed investigation against the officials mentioned in the report of the In-house enquiry committee. However, to ensure more transparency in the functioning of the DGR`s organization, necessary instructions have been issued.
This information was given by Minister of State for Defence Dr MM Pallam Raju in a written reply to Shri Hamdullah Sayeed in Lok Sabha today.
