Warangal District Collector N Sridhar suspended 16 field assistants, including Narmetta Mandal Prajaparishad Development Officer (MPDO) Prema Kumari on Thursday, on the charges of irregularities in the implementation of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme.
According to sources, the Collector suspended the staff based on the report of a committee which had been appointed to probe into the irregularities in Employment Guarantee Scheme.
7 technical assistants were also suspended apart from the 16 field assistants.
The committee while submitting the report, recommended the District Collector to initiate action against all staff found guilty in the report.
Based on the committee’s recommendations, the Collector also withdrew the powers to issue cheques of 17 sarpanches in the district for their alleged involvement in irregularities.
