According to Ghatal Block sources, thirty-five year old Bharatbabu joined the Ghatal Block office as treasurer in 2006. According to sources, the Shallow Tubewell and Water Lift Scheme (RLI) under the Irrigation and Waterways Department of the state government has been providing irrigation to farmers for many years. There are 25 such government projects in Ghatal block. In 12 panchayats of the block, the farmers who cultivate under government irrigation facilities under this scheme have to pay water tax. The staff of the concerned department collects the fixed amount of tax from the cultivators after irrigation in different seasons and submits it to the block treasurer. If the treasurer deposits it through the bank according to the rules, then naturally the government money is supposed to go directly to the Ghatal treasury office when it is deposited in the bank.
