Madhya Pradesh: Official suspended for negligence in loan waiver scheme

An official was placed under suspension for alleged negligence in filling up farm loan waiver forms under the Madhya Pradesh government's Jai Kisan Rin Mafi Yojana.

Bhind Collector Chote Singh identified the suspended official as Water Resources department sub-engineer Vishnu Kumar Varshney.

"We have suspended Varshney, posted in Gohad town, on the charges of negligence in filling up forms of eligible farmers for the loan waiver scheme," Singh said Friday.

Jai Kisan Rin Mafi Yojana was announced on December 17 last year, a few hours after Chief Minister Kamal Nath took charge.

In another development, two officials, identified as PWD sub-engineer Gajendra Singh Bhadoria and school headmistress Urmila Arya, were suspended for negligence.

While Bhadoria allegedly neglected arrangements at the circuit house here, Arya had failed to open her school in Tehangur as per schedule, they said.
