The Maharashtra government on Wednesday received the report of an inquiry committee recommending that 1,000 projects taken up under the Devendra Fadnavis government’s Jalyukta Shivar Abhiyan (JSA) be investigated by the state Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) for alleged violation of norms. The committee has suggested that 1,000 works should be probed by the ACB. It has also recommended that several hundred other works pertaining to technicalities and non-conforming of guidelines should be probed,” a source in the department said. The Jalyukta Shivar Abhiyan was the flagship project of former CM Fadnavis. Last December, the Shiv Sena-led MVA government had constituted the committee to shortlist the works to be probed.
