Bhubaneswar: The state government has suspended an official after he was found selling school textbooks in Odisha’s Khurda district.

The Block Education Officer (BEO) of Bolgarh on Tuesday suspended the Cluster Resource Centre Coordinator (CRCC) of Deuli under the block in the district, Manamohan Mishra. “Manamohan Mishra, Cluster Resource Centre Coordinator of Deuli Cluster is hereby suspended from his CRCC assignment with immediate effect due to public exigency and he is instructed to return back to his parent post,” read the official order issued by the BEO.
