Cuddalore Collector A. Arun Thamburaj has suspended two workers attached to the Anganwadi centre at Sirupakkam Government High School in the district for allegedly diverting eggs meant for supply to children at noon meal centres to a hotel in neighbouring Kallakurichi district.
The diversion of eggs bearing the Tamil Nadu Government seal and meant for supply to noon meal centres surfaced on September 29 after a team of officials from the Department of Food Safety inspected ‘Heart Beat’ hotel in Chinna Salem and found two crates of eggs. Preliminary investigations revealed that the eggs were procured from Cuddalore district.
Subsequently, the hotel was sealed.
