Officials showing laxity, not implementing welfare schemes will be punished: Hemant Soren

Jharkhand government would soon start "punishing" those officials failing in implementing welfare programmes and showing laxity in making people aware of schemes mooted for them.

"The government will not tolerate any official being lax or slack while implementing schemes and the government will soon punish such officials," Chief Minister Hemant Soren said while addressing a function to mark the fortnight-long foundation day celebrations of the state.
