CAG probe: Gopalan Dept to recover payment from officer

Jaipur: On a report of the CAG, the Gopalan department has ordered recovery of the amount for misuse of official vehicles by the Additional Director of the Gopalan department Dr Lal Singh. The officer was not authorized to use the official vehicle but kept on using the vehicle for commuting from office to home everyday. When the CAG inspected and objected, the department has asked to recover the amount of misuse of government vehicles from his salary.

An order issued by RAS Chandmal Verma, Director of Gopalan Department on April 12 is a great example in itself. This order is an example for those government officials who misuse the resources of the government and use them for personal purposes. This order is about Dr. Lal Singh, former director of the department and presently additional director. Actually, Dr. Lal Singh was taking the official vehicle for his personal use for a long time.

Recently, when the team of CAG released the inspection report of the dept, it was revealed that Additional Director Dr. Lal Singh was misusing the official vehicle.
