Fraud at DUDA raises outsourcing concerns

Fraud at DUDA raises outsourcing concerns

There was a big problem at a government office in Odisha, India.

A man named Binaya Harijan, who was hired through a temporary agency to work with computers and data, is suspected of stealing a lot of money.

He is accused of moving government money to his own bank account.

He has disappeared and is not answering his phone.

This has caused a lot of trouble at the office because other workers can't do their jobs properly without the records he was in charge of.

The government is now investigating what happened and why it was allowed to happen.

They are also looking into other possible problems with how money is being spent in the office.

This has made people question whether it's a good idea to hire temporary workers for important jobs like handling money.
