Madhya Pradesh: Official suspended for negligence in loan waiver scheme
Bhind (MP), Jan 25 : 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.

‘No special “good news”; Delhi visits routine, says D.K. Suresh
Bengaluru: Bamul President D.K. Suresh on Wednesday said there was nothing unusual about his recent visits to Delhi and dismissed speculation about any “good news” linked to the occasion.
Speaking to reporters at the Bengaluru Milk Union Limited (Bamul) office, Suresh said, “I am not aware of any ‘good news’. There is always some good news or the other. Sometimes we travel for party work, sometimes for personal reasons, and at times for government-related matters. There is nothing special about it.”
Responding to a question on whether there would be any announcement on the occasion of Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar’s birthday, Suresh said Shivakumar had already appealed to supporters not to put up flex boards or banners.
“He has asked people not to put up flex or banners due to environmental concerns. Everyone should follow this,” he said.
On being asked about discussions on power-sharing within the party, Suresh said it was not the time for such talks and that the matter had been left to the party high command.
“We have said we will abide by whatever the high command decides,” he said.
Replying to a question on pressure from legislators, Suresh acknowledged that there was demand for ministerial posts.
“There is pressure to become ministers,” he said.
On his recent visit to Delhi along with D.K. Shivakumar, Suresh said such trips were frequent.
“We travel to Delhi regularly. If it was a rare visit, you could ask. We go at least twice a month,” he said.
