Probe Demanded for Gurukul Institutions' Irregularities
A leader named Vadithya Sankar Naik is asking for a special investigation into problems at Gurukul schools for tribal students in Andhra Pradesh.
He says a private company, SRR Projects, has not been paying the right amounts for the security guards working there.
The guards are supposed to get a certain salary and benefits, but they are not receiving what they should.
The leader wants the government to take action against the company and the officials who allowed this to happen.
He also wants the guards to get all the money they are owed.
Vadithya Sankar Naik demands a judicial inquiry into alleged corruption in AP Tribal Welfare Gurukul Educational Institutions.
SRR Projects, the private agency managing security guards, is accused of not paying proper EPF and ESI contributions.
About 600 security guards are reportedly paid only Rs 6,500 per month instead of the billed Rs 12,800.
The agency is alleged to have misappropriated nearly Rs 14 crore over two years.
Naik seeks departmental action against SRR Projects and officials who cleared bills without verification.
