JAIPUR: The social justice and empowerment department has so far recovered Rs 14.50 lakh from a number of e-mitra operators in Jaisalmer, who in collusion with officials of the department, were involved in siphoning off public money by registering fake marriages under the Chief Minister Kanyadaan Yojana. So far, over 100 such cases have been noticed in the district.
While two officers and a clerk of the department were suspended in May, the e-mitra centres are likely to be blacklisted, said Secretary Samit Sharma. “We’ve written to the finance department to take action against guilty officers working under their department,” he added.
