Mumbai:
Toughening its stand, the state government Friday slapped
show-cause notices on 15 bureaucrats, mostly indian Administrative
Service officers, who are members of the scam-hit Adarsh
Cooperative Housing Society, official sources said.
The notices have already been served on 11 civil servants, and the
remaining four will be served these soon, the official told IANS.
Sent by Chief Secretary J.P. Dange, the bureaucrats have been
given a week's time to submit their replies to the government.
Among other things, the bureaucrats have been asked about the
circumstances under which they became members of Adarsh
Cooperative Housing Society and the source of funds for the
luxurious flats in the 31-storeyed building, the official said.
The Adarsh housing scam, since it broke out two months ago, had
claimed the job of former chief minister Ashok Chavan.
