Act against officers robbing Kerala govt schemes

New Indian Express  

A probe in Kerala has found that as many as 1,458 government employees—including gazetted officers and college professors—have been fraudulently claiming social security pensions meant for the most vulnerable sections of the society. The state provides a monthly pension of Rs 1,600 each to around 6.2 million people including widows, people with disabilities, and the elderly living below the poverty line. The government officials who helped to put ineligible people on the beneficiary list should also face stern action, so that such abetment is not repeated. State governments must take stringent actions against those who rob monies meant for the most vulnerable sections of the society.
