Prakasam district Collector A.S. Dinesh Kumar has issued orders, suspending M. Rama Rao, the Superintendent of Irrigation Project Engineer’s office, on the charge of attending election training class under the influence of alcohol.
The Collector also served show-cause notices on 59 Presiding Officers (POs) and Assistant Presiding Officers (APOs) for not attending the training classes.
Many POs and APOs skipped the training classes by applying for medical leave. They would be referred to the medical board and action would be against those who faked illness, Mr. Dinesh Kumar said.
