Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) has suspended Assistant Accountant Sanjay Singh Parihar from the Revenue Branch over irregularities and negligence in managing Point-of-Sale (POS) machines. The suspension came after an inspection conducted on August 21 as part of the Jan Vishwas Abhiyan. The investigation revealed that POS machines were missing from certain wards, disrupting revenue collection efforts.
Parihar allegedly took possession of the machines from Revenue Branch staff on August 10, keeping them for 10 days before distributing them without authorization from higher-ups. The bank POS machines were found inactive, but the bank manager stated they were functional. The order suspending Parihar alleges that his actions amounted to negligence in a crucial role and disregard for senior officers' directives.
The BMC stated Parihar's explanation was insufficient. He has been placed on suspension with immediate effect and will continue working from the Planning Branch.
