Imphal, January 30 2014:
With Dr B Tarunkumar Sharma still clinging to the post of DDO, Directorate of Family Welfare Services even after the concerned authority issued an order whereby Dr Th Arunkumar was made the Deputy Director, HDO and DDO of the Directorate, a strong suspicion has been raised about financial irregularities in the directorate.
As per a memorandum issued by the State Government in July 1982, all DDOs should be relieved off their duty six months before retirement.
In accordance to the same memorandum, the Under Secretary (Health and Family Welfare) issued an order on October 22 last year by which the post of DDO was taken away from B Tarunkumar Sharma as he would retire on February 28 this year.
The same order mentioned that Dr Th Arunkumar would take over as the directorate's DDO.
According to a source in the directorate, Dr Tarunkumar still clinging to the post of DDO is unacceptable.
It also evokes a strong suspicion of financial irregularities in the directorate, said the source.
