Indore : Joint Director, Health Dr Sharad Pandit directed the health officials to halt the salary of all the booth medical officers and zonal officers of the district after finding their poor performance in spending the budget provided under National Health Mission.

He also served notices to the health officers and asked them for improvement by September 30.

The decision was taken by Dr Pandit during the review meeting of Financial Management System on Tuesday.

During the meeting, it was revealed by the officials that Indore District stands on 50th place out of 51 districts in the state in terms of spending budget allotted by the government.

“Budget of Rs 25 crores were sanctioned under NHM but only 10 per cent of it could be spent by the officials in six months. This is enough to prove that they are not working properly or not making payments for the work,” Dr Pandit said.

He further said that half of the budget should have spent by the officials they didn’t even spend a penny in various units.

“Not a single rupee has been spent by the BMOs and zonal officers for child health and immunisation and only 3 percent of budget has been spent by them for infant health,” he added.

Dr Pandit said that they have directed the officials to not issue salary of BMOs and zonal officers till next orders and directed them to improve the situation at the earliest.
