Gumla. The company has taken back the tractor of Vincent Ekka, son of Paramveer Chakra winner martyr Lance Naik Albert Ekka of Jari police station area of the district. This tractor worth Rs 9.25 lakh was on 50% government subsidy. The remaining 50% was to be given to Vincent, which he could not pay. The company withdrew it in the presence of agricultural officials. Vincent also accused the officers of misbehavior. He says that his share was to be given to the government, but he did not receive it.
Actually, Vincent had asked for a tractor from the Chief Minister. On the instructions of the Chief Minister, Gumla Deputy Commissioner had handed over this tractor to Vincent in Jari village on 23 December 2024. Company representative Deepak Aggarwal said that Vincent had refused to give his share. The Deputy Commissioner had asked to give this amount from the Deputy Commissioner Fund, but the payment was not received. Land Conservation Officer Ram Prakash Kumar also told that Vincent had to deposit 50% of his amount, which did not happen.
Land Conservation Officer Ram Prakash Kumar said that Vincent Ekka, son of Paramvir Chakra winner Martyr Albert Ekka, was provided a tractor under the Agricultural Mechanization Scheme. According to the scheme, 50 percent of the total cost was to be given to the beneficiary.
He said that the department kept requesting the beneficiaries to deposit their share amount, but the amount could not be deposited. For this reason the tractor has been withdrawn at present. According to Ram Prakash Kumar, the tractor can be returned after the beneficiary deposits the fixed share amount.
