Team conducts a surprise check at the office of Forester
Sleuths from the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) seized unaccounted cash to the tune of ₹35.64 lakh during a surprise check at the office of a Forester in Ulundurpet division near here on Tuesday.
Following complaints, a team conducted a surprise check at the office of Forester Shankar Ganesh and seized ₹11.64 lakh from him.
DVAC sources said Shankar Ganesh had collected commission from contractors for taking up works under the Tamil Nadu Plantation Corporation scheme in Pagandai, Thyagadurgam, Sankarapuram and Thirukovilur ranges.
After Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashok’s prediction on Saturday that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will step down in November 2025 triggered intense political discussions in the State, Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Sunday said Mr. Siddaramaiah will continue for the full five-year term.
