Sailana MLA Alleges Corruption in Irrigation Pond Construction
In Sailana, Madhya Pradesh, a politician named Kamleshwar Dodiyar is saying that the government isn't building ponds properly.
He says some ponds only exist on paper, while others broke quickly after being built because they weren't made well.
He gave a few examples: One pond didn't have a strong enough wall, and another used the wrong kind of soil so it couldn't hold water.
Another pond was ruined by the first rainfall due to bad materials.
He thinks that government officials, local leaders, and other workers are all involved in this problem.
