Maharashtra’s cooperative department has suspended two officials who served in Bhandara and Gondia districts for their alleged dereliction of duty, bungled paddy procurement and financial irregularities, media reports say.
One of the suspended officials allegedly delayed action against cooperative societies allegedly involved in the embezzlement of Rs 28,39,31,365.
The other official issued delivery orders even after the end of the kharif season which allowed a cooperative society to indulge in financial irregularities.
The cooperative society allegedly showed less delivery than the actual paddy procurement.
