A senior official of one of the city's municipal corporations was today suspended and another shunted out for alleged dereliction of duty after Home Minister Rajnath Singh paid a surprise visit to the civic body's office today to see its work.

North Delhi Municipal Corporation today relieved Hemendra Kumar, Deputy Commissioner (city zone), of his responsibility with immediate effect and repatriated him to his parent Indian Railway Traffic service.

Sanitation Superintendent of NDMC's city zone Mohan Singh has been placed under suspension by NDMC, an official spokesperson said. The move came hours after the home minister made a surprise visit to the NDMC's city zone office at Asaf Ali Marg where he found the Deputy Commissioner absent.

Even though the DC arrived later, the home minister expressed his displeasure over lack of uncleanliness in the office and employees "lack of interests" in keeping documents in order.

The home minister also directed the DC to take urgent steps for cleanliness, remove unused articles like computers and improve people's facilities and service.
