The Andhra Pradesh Vaidya Vidhana Parishad (APVVP) has taken a serious note of the alleged fraud in the submission of bills pertaining to the medical, food and surgical kits supplied to the area hospital at Narasaraopet, and has ordered a detailed inquiry into it.
“These allegations are in my notice. I have asked my staff to inquire into it. It is a preliminary inquiry. Based on it, we will take further action. Whether really the bills have to be paid or not. If we have to pay, we will pay them after verification, and if we need not pay then we will not release the money,” S. Venkateswar, Commissioner of APVVP, told The Hindu on June 6 (Tuesday).
Palnadu district Collector Siva Sankar Lotheti also ordered an inquiry into the matter. It would include how the medicines were sourced and for what purpose they were used. All the accounts would also be verified for further action.
