Chandigarh, September 26
A day after The Tribune highlighted how two officials allegedly siphoned Rs 75 lakh from the Health Department accounts during the Covid pandemic, the erring officials have deposited money back to the account of the National Health Mission (NHM).
Sources confirmed both officials had deposited over Rs 40 lakh to the NHM account. The remaining amount was spent by flouting the General Financial Rules. The department will probe and call for disciplinary action against the erring officials. The sources said the department might initiate criminal proceedings against the officials as well.
