An official coming to the Jan Sunwai after consuming gutka incurred a hefty fine of Rs 500. In the district-level public hearing held on Tuesday in the Chhatarpur District Panchayat meeting room, Jagan Nath Rajput, the Branch Manager of the District Cooperative Bank, was found to have consumed gutka. As soon as ADM Namah Shivay Arjariya got wind of this, he reprimanded Rajput and immediately imposed a fine of Rs 500 on him.
It is worth mentioning that, under the directives of Collector Sandeep JiAR, consuming gutka and tobacco is prohibited in all government offices, including the Collectorate premises. Instructions have been given to take action against those violating this ban by imposing fines.
