The Delhi Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta, unveiled a revealing CAG audit report in the Assembly on Monday, shedding light on irregularities in the registration of construction workers. Despite holding a robust fund of over Rs 3,500 crore, the audit discloses low welfare expenditure from 2019 to 2023.
The audit, pertaining to 'Welfare of Building and Other Construction Workers,' scrutinizes the preceding four years of Aam Aadmi Party governance. It criticizes the lack of reliable data for the number of BOCWs, revealing the Welfare Board's incomplete database of registered workers.
The CAG findings point to suspect 'ghost' registrations, duplication of worker images, and substantial cess discrepancies, urging improved data management and accountability for better utilization of the funds in building labor welfare initiatives.
