The School Education Department of the Government of Chhattisgarh has taken serious note of indiscipline and inappropriate conduct and has suspended Mr. L.P. Patel, the In-Charge District Education Officer of Sarangarh-Bilaigarh, with immediate effect. The suspension has been carried out under the provisions of the Chhattisgarh Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, 1965.
