Taking strong exceptions, Speaker of UP Assembly Hriday Narain Dikshit directed the government to issue a show cause notice to District Magistrate of Chandauli for not following government orders.
During Zero Hour, SP Member Prabhu Narain informed the House that even after repeated instructions by the government, the DM of Chandauli convened a meeting of Rural Development department on July 12.
“There is strict instruction from the government that during Assembly or Parliament session, no such meeting should be held where legislators or MPs were members of committee. But the DM violated all the norms,” the MlA pleaded.
Parliamentary Affairs minister Suresh Kumar Khanna too admitted that repeated instructions were sent to all districts on not holding meetings during the session. He said that such violation was serious and he would look into the matter so that such incidents did not recur.
The Speaker said that it was a serious matter and the Government should issue a show cause notice to the concerned DM.
