They are all rural people and money was deposited in their bank accounts. Not for one …not for two… for 200 people simultaneously received the amount, leaving authorities surprised over the mysterious development. The villagers were shocked on seeing their accounts, while some say the festival came ten days earlier. Now, this topic is being discussed throughout the state.
There are 607 families living in Shivarampuram village in Salur zone of Vizianagaram district, and the unclaimed sum was simultaneously deposited in 200 accounts. It is yet to be ascertained how the money was deposited into so many accounts at the same time and the amount ranged between Rs 13,500 and Rs 16,000. This has become a topic of discussion right now and it is surprising that not a single officer in the zone has an answer to this. Even though one thinks the amount is deposited under the farmer guarantee scheme ‘Rythu Bharosa’, cash was also credited to those who did not own land. On the other hand, it is noteworthy that many beneficiaries kept this information confidential and did not disclose their account details. However, when Lead Bank Assistant Murali was enlightened about the issue by the media, he said that he was not aware of such an incident till then. He said there was no possibility of money being misappropriated as the bank account number is linked to Aadhaar and that an inquiry will be held.
