DISTRICT MAGISTRATE Amrit Abhijat has decided to take action against officials responsible for poor arrangement of mid-day meal in schools following complaints of unavailability of the meal in 300 schools in the district.

The DM held a meeting with the assistant basic shiksha adhikaris (ABSAs), officials from the Education department, Panchayati Raj department and district level officials connected with Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan here on Tuesday.

Chief Development Officer Bhavnath Singh informed the DM that the students were not being served midday meal in around 300 schools. The DM warned the BSA and directed him to look into the matter. The DM suspended ABSA Jasra BK Gaur for negligence in duty on the complaint of the BSA.
