Dinesh Singh Rawat Says:

HEWO since its inception has remained under cloud for its dubious acts, as news report has mentioned details of IAS and HCS officers who had allotted flats in prime locations in cities like Panchkula, Gurgaon and Fridabad shows the greed of these officers who have already many properties in their kitties.

With such a greedy intent how they could able to do justice with common man.
