CBI probe into housing society demanded

HYDERABAD: A large section of Telangana employees have demanded a CBI probe into the activities of Telangana Non-Gazetted Officers’ (TNGOs) Mutually Aided Co-Operative Housing Society, headed by political JAC convenor and TNGO president K Swamy Goud.
The aggrieved NGOs under the banner of Joint Struggle Committee of the unions of Telangana officers, employees, teachers and workers alleged on Tuesday that a probe by cooperative department joint registrar N Kiranmayi had revealed serious irregularities in the functioning of the society under the leadership of Goud.The state government had ordered an inquiry based on the directions from high court a few months ago.
Demanding the state government to initiate criminal proceedings against Goud, struggle committee secretary-general I Venkatesam claimed that the 1,000-page report revealed that plots were allotted to 776 ineligible members, including non-Telangana officials. The state government had allotted 160 acres of land to the TNGO housing society in 2003.
Putting up a strong defence, TNGO housing society secretary Mujib said they would respond only after studying the report. He alleged that certain officers conspired to malign their president Swamy Goud as he was an active member of the political JAC.
