Four revenue officials suspended over lapses in SC survey
Three officials — revenue inspector Ramesh and tax collector Peddaraju, working in HBR sub-division, and tax collector C. Sentil Kumar of Kengeri sub-division — were suspended on Thursday for not contacting residents, but pasting stickers on their houses that the survey of these houses was completed. On Friday, the BBMP suspended revenue inspector Kavita, working in the Vasanthnagar sub-division, for erroneous survey in ward no. 62, Vasathnagar.
In her suspension order, the BBMP said when the head office called up residents to cross-check on the survey in the ward, they found that surveyors had marked SC families from neighbouring Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu as 'non-SC households' during the survey, but included them as 'SC households' and uploaded their details on the app, when they went to paste stickers, creating discrepancies in the survey.
