SSY engineer suspended for ‘swindling’ of funds

December 21, 2014 12:17 pm | Updated 12:17 pm IST - KADAPA:

District Collector K.V. Ramana, in the capacity of Chairman of the Sarva Siksha Abhiyan, suspended G. Malla Reddy, Assistant Engineer of Panchayat Raj, who was working as AE, Sarva Siksha Abhiyan, Proddatur, on deputation at present, on charges of playing a key role in misappropriation of government funds to the tune of Rs. 2 lakh.

One L. Ravishankar Reddy, who constructed an additional classroom building of Mandal Parishad School at T. Obayapalli in Chapadu mandal, agreed to construct another room free of cost . Despite being in know of the fact, Malla Reddy, with mala fide intention, recorded the measurements in the M Book for sanction of the amount under CDP funds for the building which had already been built, the Collector said in his orders.

Though the SSA authorities have not been given any instructions to prepare the work bill of the additional classroom, Malla Reddy recorded the measurement in the M book. The work was entrusted to Mandal Engineering Officer of Chapadu Mandal Parishad by the MPDO, Mr. Ramana said.

“Malla Reddy will continue to be under suspension until the disciplinary proceedings are completed,” the Collector said and asked the AE not to leave the headquarters without Collector’s prior permission.
