Mandalekar suspends clerk
SOLAPUR: Municipal Commissioner D N Mandalekar has suspended senior head clerk R M Bhandari on the charges of alleged misuse of office.

The action is believed to be Mandalekar8217;s drive to cleanse the administration. Incidentally, his actions have left the municipal corridors, restless.

Several complaints against Bhandari had cropped up, it was stated. According to sources, Bhandari allegedly has to his credit a few uncleared advances from the civic exchequer. He was found to have taken vehicle loans thrice between 1994 and 1998 which he never paid back, it was stated.

Bhandari has been directed not to leave the city without prior permission, it was stated.

Mandalekar has so far suspended fire brigade superindentent Manoj Kumar Chatterjee and B S Bhosale and R S Gaikwad from tax assessment department while city engineer R K Badruwale has been sent on a compulsory leave facilitating certain inquiries against him.
