Taking stern action, Sugarcane Commissioner Sanjay Bhoosreddy suspended member of Co-operative Cane Development Society, Titawi, in Muzaffarnagar district, Hari Om, for his involvement in corrupt practices in procurement and sugarcane bonding.
Hari Om has also been blacklisted from being member of any cane society for next three years.
Bhoosreddy said in a statement here on Thursday that the government had received a complaint about Hari Om procuring more sugarcane than the basic quota by fudging the figures in 2016-17. He said this was against the tenets of sugarcane bonding policy.
The members of the Co-operative Cane Development Society, Titawi, had brought a non-confidence motion against him and suggested administrative action, the sugarcane commissioner said.
“Hari Om was given a chance to prove his innocence. But he was found guilty and action has been taken against him as per the law,” Bhoosreddy said.
The Sugarcane Commissioner, who is also registrar of the society, the cane development society, said the government would not tolerate any corrupt practice in cane purchase or disbursal of the cane price. He warned that stern action would be taken against the guilty.
