Madhya Pradesh Prime Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan canceled the suspension order of a food safety officer, who reportedly had not served fresh flatbreads to the CM during his visit to Indore on Wednesday.
Manish Swami was suspended for alleged breach of duty during the CM’s visit, a district administration official said. However, when the CM learned of the punishment through social media late on Friday, he asked the collector to reinstate Swami.
Speaking to the media in Sagar on Friday, Prime Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said: “I have no problem eating flatbreads ‘rukhi sukhi’ and I don’t think it is appropriate to suspend an officer for serving not so fresh food to me. . I don’t care if I go through any difficulties during my visit to different districts because I am a public servant and I dedicate myself to working for the well-being of the people ”.
