The sub engineer and former building officer of Ujjain Municipal Corporation has been suspended after a bailable warrant was issued against the Municipal Corporation Commissioner for not removing the encroachment even after the order of the High Court.
In another case, an order has been issued to remove the cashier of Berasia Municipality, who came under the investigation of Lokayukta. Cashier has been posted to Municipal Corporation Gwalior.
Urban Development and Housing Department Commissioner Bharat Yadav has suspended former building officer and sub-engineer Harsh Jain posted in Ujjain Municipal Corporation.
During the suspension period, Jain's headquarters will be the office of the Divisional Joint Director, Urban Development, Indore, and he will get a living allowance from Ujjain Municipal Corporation. According to the order issued by Yadav, Jain was made the building officer in-charge in the order issued on January 11, 2023.
After this, on August 23, 2023, Neha Khattar had complained about encroachment on which action was directed. Due to non-action on this, a case was filed in the High Court, after which the court ordered action.
Jain was then given orders to take action on this. Instead of taking action on the order given in the case number WP 26258/2023 filed in the High Court, Building Officer in-charge Jain had only given notice.
