MP: 8 forest dept personnel face govt action for 'false' data

The Congress government in Madhya Pradesh Thursday suspended five forest department employees and issued show-cause notices against three senior officials for submitting "false" information on the plantation drive carried out in 2017, during the previous BJP rule.

Talking to PTI, state Forest Minister Umang Singhar said, "We have taken action against eight forest department employees, including three officials, for submitting false data on plantation. This is a big scam."
