             Vigilance  Department raided four entry gates to Orissa after allegations of huge pilferage in salestax  and motor vehicle taxes. Vigilance teams swooped on the gates at Girisola, Jamsola, Sohela and Laxmannath and made on-spot verification of tax collection.

 The anti-corruption wing had received allegations that the pilferage is to the tune of  2.5 crore a day at these gates which means a huge loss to the State of Orissa.

 The teams seized numerous documents on tax collection, the methods of collection at these gates and the manpower employed to carry out the job. The Vigilance Team also zeroed in on the staff employed on DLR (daily labour roll). While these DLR employees get a daily remuneration of  150 to 200 a day, some of them were found to have accumulated huge property.
