Government had allocated ₹ 42 crore for the upliftment of Pahadi Korwas, a tribal community. Under this project, a road was developed in the Kach Ketha village costing ₹ 17.44 lakh. However, the officials failed to notice that there was only one Korwa family in that village and they were suffering from acute water shortage. Also, these funds were grossly misappropriated as only 'Lal Mitti' was put over a Kutcha road.
